There will also be live music all day featuring favorite regional bands Annie in the Water, The Big Takeover, and Ploughman’s Lunch.
The festival, organized, sponsored and hosted by the Adirondack Harvest Program of Cornell Cooperative Extension, starts at noon and goes til 5:00 p.m.

Attendees are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items for a local food drive.
