It took a few years, but I finally got there and it was just as wonderful as I had hoped, even in the cold rain! The weather added a bit of fog and mystery to this amazing annual festival in a quaint New England town. And really what's more perfect than a sweet little town with incredible foliage and perfect crisp, cool mountain air? The streets of town were absolutely filled with pumpkins! Everywhere we turned there was a new display to discover! Some kept We loved seeing them during the day, and then again at night. Make sure you plan to stay for both! Well worth it! Some shopping around town at both new and vintage stores, costume parade watching, fair and street food truck noshing, games and races for kiddos too. The entire town is one big festival! We enjoyed a seasonal, candle-lit dinner and sat outside where the wait staff were dressed for Halloween, and then it was time to head back to see the pumpkins lit at night! Seeing them all lit up was magical!! The Pumpkin towers was awesome! Don't miss that! I actually thought the bit of rain we experienced was perfect as the light from the Jack o lanterns reflected off the puddles! So even if the weather isn't perfect, don't let that stop you! I've been to a few pumpkin festivals and what I love about this one is they are all real! There's nothing more going on than the simple art of pumpkin carving. Street parking was easy to find. Everyone was super nice and helpful. The entire weekend was amazing! If you have the chance to go, make a weekend out of it!! *older photos did not sync with this review. Check 'em out!

The ticket prices are good for all the national and international talent they book to play each year. You can attend one day, or all three. There are vendors on site with food, drink, and crafts. You can bring your own cooler, and camp right there. If not, plenty of lodging in the area. For the musicians, they are truly treated like VIP's! The people that cook for the musicians KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!!!! The food was plenty and they cook things to order. There clearly was a lot of preparation for this weekend. The people at the Backstage BBQ did a phenomenal job, I really can't say enough about them. For the attendees, there are many really good food options. Plenty of clean port-o-potties. And the fellow attendees are super nice, willing to share. This family runs a great festival and they just celebrated their twentieth year. I hope it never ends. This is what summer is all about.

I like that there's a good slope, especially on the lawn, so that short people like me can see pretty easily. I can't speak to the food or drink quality since I've never gotten any here, but I will say that there is a nice setup of local places outside the stage area. I've heard the food prices are reasonable, and if you want to enjoy some live music while waiting for your show, there's a smaller stage out there that usually hosts a band prior to the show.

I've seen two shows here and I really like this medium sized venue. Last summer I had covered…read moreseating for the Indigo Girls with Melissa Etheridge, and it was amazing. The staff is friendly, and the parking area isn't too much of a walk from the venue. The slope of the seating could be better, as my 5' daughter and my 5'5" self found it hard to see over the heads of the people in front of us. Sound was good, and the crowd for this event was really nice as well. A few days ago my daughter and I went back for James Taylor and sat on the lawn. We rented lawn chairs for $10 each, and it was the way to go! I bout the tickets for $30 each during Live Nation week back in the spring, add on $10 for a lawn chair and $10 for parking, and we saw a great show for less than $50 per person. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the lawn - everyone was super relaxed and the view was great on the tv screen, and I could see the stage as well. Love that this venue is so clean, has games such as corn hole, etc, and has a good variety of food/drink. Prices are expensive, but all concert venues seem to be priced similarly. It did take awhile to get out of the parking lot after the show, but not nearly as bad as Xfinity in Mansfield, MA. I'll be back again in a few weeks for Paul Simon!

What an absolutely delightful place!…read more Ambiance: Adorable. Farm store is well-stocked with fresh veggies and tons of tasty treats and tchotchkes. The outdoor areas have some seating right against the store and tons more in the beer garden area. Greenhouses. A whole kid play area with toys, sandboxes, swings. And live farm animals to visit and observe (cow, goats, geese, etc.) Super cute, lots to see, and fabulous for families. Service: Friendly and warm. Pretty sure it was the owner who took our orders in the cafe window. He was so sweet and struck up a conversation with us about whether we were visiting, local, etc. He noticed our baby and told us about their family nights with campfires and live music and kid games. The woman at checkout was also super nice when I bought a few store items. Food: GUYS. Simple but sooooo fresh and wonderful. We all loved it, even my picky MIL. We got coffee and breakfast sandwiches / wraps. It was a bit of a wait but we were happy to sit outside and chat and even happier when the food turned out to be so yummy. The bagels were soft inside but crispy outside (they grill them, not just toast. But not greasy!!) Eggs are local. Veggies are fresh. All made with care.
