The festivities will be broken down into two sessions, Session 1 from 1-5 pm and Session 2 from 6-10 pm, and will bring together the best businesses in the local movement all under one great roof at Arts @ The Armory.

Harvest Fest would be nothing without the beer; attendees will be able to sample unique brews from a wide selection of New England breweries. A number of locally-owned and operated Somerville restaurants will be highlighted at each session to satisfy every palate and participants will get a delicious serving of each. 

Entertainment will be provided by Somerville darlings, Michael J. Epstein Memorial Library and DJ Nate Bluhm.

A current list of participants is available on the SLF website.

This is a ‘can’t miss’ event for supporters of strong local economies, beer lovers, foodies and all those who love Somerville. Harvest Fest has something to offer just about everyone.
