Falmouth Fall Fest
September 28 @ 11:00 am - 3:00 pm
Join us for Falmouth Fall Festival on Saturday, September 28, from 11 AM to 3 PM at the Falmouth Museums on the Green, 55 Palmer Avenue, Falmouth, MA!
Enjoy a day of family fun and educational adventures as you step back in time. Explore our scenic gardens, historic buildings, and engage with friendly guides who bring Falmouth’s rich history to life. Highlights include a husking bee reenactment, pumpkin patch, storytelling, kid’s games, music by the Falmouth Fiddlers, and a mini farmers market.
We’re hosting Falmouth Fall Festival to revive the historic tradition of husking parties, a key community activity in the 18th and 19th century that once ensured local families had food for the winter. Like the husking frolics of the past, our event brings the community together to celebrate our agricultural heritage, with fun, history, and a sense of shared purpose which in this case is to help restore the c. 1790 Dr. Francis Wicks House Museum on Falmouth’s Village Green.
We’re excited to have Bourbon & Butter Baking Co., the Fresh Roll food truck, Sea Scoops ice cream truck, Bootstrap Farm Club, Farming Falmouth, and Hale Bone Broth for this event!
Admission is free with a suggested $15 donation to support the Fix Wicks Campaign, dedicated to restoring the c. 1790 Dr. Francis Wicks House Museum. Don’t miss this vibrant celebration of Falmouth’s heritage!
