FARM FEST 2023 : Attendee Information
EVENT VENUE CHANGE: We're moving "barns" to the Arts Barn at Inly School in Scituate
(Updated 10:45 am 9/22/23)
We're on! We will be moving locations to:
Inly School Scituate (Arts Barn)

Due to the expected stormy, wet, and miserable weather predicted, we are moving our festivities to a fun dry location!
Believe us, there's not place we'd rather be than Holly Hill Farm among the rustic beauty of our historic farm setting, under the early fall skies - with you!
So, we're simply "moving barns" down the road so that we can celebrate together - no matter what Mother Nature throws at us!
