NEPM Asparagus Festival

NEPM Asparagus Festival. Returns June 1!

Save the date!
Saturday, June 1, 2024
10 a.m - 7 p.m.
Hadley Town Common

Known as “the asparagus capital of the world,” western Massachusetts is still home to hundreds of working farms and many more locally-owned restaurants and breweries. Now in its tenth year, the NEPM Asparagus Festival returns to the Hadley Town Common on Saturday, June 1 to celebrate the region’s legacy of agriculture and community.

The family-friendly NEPM Asparagus Festival features a full day of fantastic local food, drink, music, games, and fun for everyone.

Meet PBS Kids characters Curious George and Malik from “Work It Out Wombats,” and catch the Tumble Podcast live! Find out how fast you can pick asparagus with the Asparagus Valley Pick game or join Wild Garden of Childhood Nursery for arts and crafts.

Are you a local craftsperson, artisan, or vendor interested in showcasing your products in the Farmers & Makers Market at the NEPM Asparagus Festival? We invite you to join us and be a part of this vibrant community event!

APPLY FOR THE FARMERS & MAKERS MARKET

It takes a lot of people to make the NEPM Asparagus Festival happen, and we need your help. Spend time outdoors, meet new people, get a free T-shirt and support your local community as a volunteer!
