Massachusetts Cranberries and Plimoth Patuxet Museums are excited to present, in partnership—CranFest—a two-day festive celebration of the cranberry, its enduring history in the Commonwealth and role in the culture, livelihood, and culinary traditions of the region.Come enjoy all the fun seasonal activities that will take place on the grounds of Plimoth Patuxet Museums. Live music sets a festive mood all weekend long and each day has a different theme. Foodie Day on November 12 centers on lectures, culinary purveyors, food trucks, and local spirits tastings, highlighted by a Cranberry Recipe Competition. Established in 1888 to standardize the measure with which cranberries are sold, the Cape Cod Cranberry Growers’ Association is one of the country’s oldest farmers’ organizations. Today, the trade organization for Massachusetts Cranberries represents approximately 275 growers throughout Massachusetts. This unity has given growers both a single voice and collective strength in promoting the cranberry industry. NOTE: We have just learned the festival has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances but the museum hopes to be back with this event in 2023.
