Cranberry Harvest Festivals: Classic New England Fun

Looking for some classic New England Fall fun and amazing photo opportunities? Take a day trip to the South Shore and check out a cranberry harvest festival. The Cape Cod Cranberry Growers Association has a comprehensive Cranberry Harvest Trail Guide here. Here are some of my favorites, both in mid-October:

A.D. Makepeace & the Cape Cod Cranberry Association's Cranberry Harvest Celebration (Boston Central's review): Cranberry harvest tours, Helicopter rides, Wagon and pony rides, Games and crafts for children, Juried crafters and artisans, Exhibitors, Musical performances, and Cooking demonstrations.
Edaville's National Cranberry Harvest Festival (Boston Central's review): Arts, Crafts, Entertainment, Food, Bog Tours, Fireworks, and character visits from Curious George & Madeline.

Before you go, take a look at this Guide to How Cranberries Grow and Ocean Spray's history of cranberries and turn it into a learning experience for the kids!
