Celebrate the harvest and the beginning of fall foliage season with arts, crafts, music, a farmers’ market, a chowder and apple pie cookoff, and much more on the town common. Always the third Saturday in September. Local businesses and nonprofits join in the fun by hosting events and building their best scarecrows around the area.

Don’t miss the Chowdah Cookoff – hundreds of hungry tasters line up as many of your favorite restaurants vie for Peoples’ or Judges’ Choice!
