Themed Healthy Food for All!, this is a zero waste, FREE festival celebrating the virtues of eating local food sourced from the Boston area, Massachusetts, and New England. The festival features freshly harvested produce and seafood, delicious dishes for $5 or less created with local ingredients and take-away from Made in Massachusetts producers, and local craft beer, mead, and wine tastings. Festival-goers can engage with farmers, chefs and entrepreneurs, learn from exhibits and demonstrations about gardening, cooking, nutrition, health and exercise while enjoying art and festive music. Accessible by the MBTA. For more information visit the Getting There tab.
