Harvest Fest - a fund AND fun raiser
It’s that time of year again, and we are incredibly excited to annnounce the date and early bird ticket sales of Harvest Fest 2011!
If you haven’t experienced Harvest Fest in the past, here’s a short video recap of last year’s awesomeness. (A longer cut is coming soon!).
Last years event SOLD OUT, so buy your early bird tix for as low as $20 now, make sure you get in and save some money!
Pretty Things, our SLF member darlings, were a hit in 2010 and will be back this year
Harvest Fest is our annual festival and fundraiser, celebrating the best in local libations, restaurants and entertainers. It will be held in two four-hour sessions (Session 1 - 1-5PM, Session 2 - 6-10 PM) on Saturday October 15th at Arts at the Armory.
Our guests receive unlimited 2 oz. pours of beer and wine from up to 12 different craft breweries and local wineries. And we’ve already confirmed that craft brew darling, Pretty Things, will be in the house again at Harvest Fest.
We are pleased to welcome back downTown Wine & Spirits as our Beer & Wine Sponsor. They’ll be helping us organize all the awesome local libations at the event.
Foundry on Elm's Chilled Gazpacho w/ Avacado creme fraiche - one of last year's favorite dishes
We are also psyched to welcome back Foundry on Elm as our Food Sponsor. They’ll be helping us select and organize the participating restaurants. Our guests receive one small plate/sample from 8 local restaurants during each session of Harvest Fest.
We also show love to local musicians and performers at Harvest Fest, and this year we are psyched to have a Hugh McGowan, of Burren Open Mic fame, curating a local musician showcase for Session 1 and The Improper Bostonian’s Best of Boston DJ, DJ Die Young for Session 2.
We’re also so happy to have an amazing local independent media sponsor from right here in Somerville, The Somerville Scout!
So, to recap. Some of the best beer/wine you’ll taste from local New England companies, and more than a meal via the servings from Somerville’s best local restaurants. At an early bird price of only $20 per session, with all profits going to support the work of Somerville Local First and our vision of an economy that is local, green and fair. Hard to beat that for sure!
Last year’s event SOLD OUT, and this year, we expect it to happen again. We are offering a limited amount of Early Bird tickets ($5 savings per session), so don’t wait, act now and support local economies and your palate!
