14th Annual North Quabbin Garlic and Arts Festival
September 29-30, 2012
Stay tuned for more info!
The North Quabbin Garlic and Arts Festival is organized by a fully volunteer committee of friends and neighbors, and the non-profit Seeds of Solidarity Education Center. Supporters include the Forster/Stewart family, local businesses, and over 200 community volunteers the festival weekend. Festival proceeds keep the event sustainable and affordable, and support the festival’s new community grant program for regional arts, agriculture, health and energy projects.
Our Mission
The North Quabbin Garlic and Arts Festival is a celebration of the artistic, agricultural and cultural bounty of the region. The purpose of the festival is to unite North Quabbin people whose livelihoods are connected to the land and the arts, and to invite both local residents and those who do not live in the region to experience the richness of an area that is often overlooked.
The festival emphasizes what is homegrown, handmade and high quality, as well as what helps preserve and support the environment and the community. Everyone involved – organizers, exhibitors, volunteers, performers, attendees, a supportive community – makes the festival what it is: an engaging, fun and educational celebration for all ages.
We are full for exhibitors for 2011 and will continue to prioritize those from the North Quabbin and region in the coming years, but thank you for your interest. Please do not use the volunteer email for a vendor inquiry.
