New England farmers, specialty food producers, and artisans will come together for the 16th annual Massachusetts Marketplace Festival on Saturday, August 4th from 10:00am-4:00pm at the Gardens at Elm Bank in Wellesley. Homemade crafts, soaps, baked goods, popcorn, teas, herbs, fine art, and annual plants from vendors located throughout Massachusetts and New England will be available for sampling and purchase.
Celebrating the quality and abundance of local agriculture, floriculture, specialty foods, and crafts, the festival will include a full day of food sampling, shopping, and entertainment.
Visitors are encouraged to bring a blanket and enjoy a picnic lunch in the gardens – bring your own, or purchase food from one of our local vendors. Guests may also want to spend some time exploring the many gardens of Elm Bank including the New England Trial Garden, the historic Italianate Garden, Weezie’s Children Garden, and the New England Herb Society Garden. Adults: $6, Mass Hort members $4, children under 12 $2.
