Fifth Annual Cranberry Harvest Celebration
Join The A.D. Makepeace Company and the Cape Cod Cranberry Growers’ Association at the annual Cranberry Harvest Celebration each Columbus Day weekend (the second weekend in October).
This fun family event features juried crafters, activities for children, cooking demonstrations, pony and wagon rides, and much more. The highlight of the day is a guided tour of a working cranberry bog.
“Whether you live in the area and make it a point to watch the harvest every fall, or you’ve never seen it, this is a great experience,” said Michael P. Hogan, president and CEO of the A.D. Makepeace Company, the world’s largest cranberry grower.
Throughout the weekend, enjoy musical performances by some of the region’s top talents. The event will also feature old-fashioned fun for the kids, including wagon and pony rides, pumpkin and face painting, games, and coloring contests.
The Cape Cod Cranberry Growers’ Association, established in 1888, is one of the oldest farmer organizations in the country. By maintaining focus on grower issues, the goal of the Association is to “Enhance the economic viability of the Massachusetts cranberry grower.” Their mission is to support and promote the cranberry growers of Massachusetts.
