An annual tradition in Downtown Rockport, the HarvestFest celebrates the autumn season as local food producers bring you seasonal favorites including clam chowder to cheese to a cup of hot chocolate to warm you up. Cooking demonstrations, art exhibits and live music bring families from all over to enjoy.

The annual Rockport HarvestFest celebration features the best of the season in a quintessential coastal New England setting, offering live music, great food, and plenty of activities for families.

New England food producers gather under a giant tent on one of Rockport’s historic working wharves to celebrate the best of local food with fresh seafood, pastries, cider doughnuts, chowder, small-batch jams, jellies and chocolates, locally-grown produce and more. Local craft beer will be on tap, and Rockport’s own Twin Lights, a 120-year old soda company, will be on hand as well, with soda crafted from the company’s original recipes.

Cooking demonstrations take place throughout the day, the highlight of which is the Seafood Throwdown, a competition-style showcase between two chefs, demonstrating the versatility of coastal New England’s most significant harvest, fish.

HarvestFest also features plenty of live bluegrass, jazz, folk and Celtic music, along with the annual Scarecrow Stroll, where artistic, creative, and generally fascinating scarecrows can be found throughout downtown. Several Rockport inns, shops, restaurants and galleries offer HarvestFest specials and packages.

Rockport Harvest Festival Is Great- You Can Shop Around There Too

We went to this festival in the past and it was great fun but bring your sweater for those cool breezes. One of the best parts of being around Rockport is that it's so much fun to shop around. I remember we stopped at this fabulous art gallery right on the main street - Mt. Pleasant Street, I think, about a 1-2 minute walk from Bearskin Neck. One of the whimsical, family-friendly paintngs we bought there from this artist Corey Tevan hangs in our living room, and we always remember this trip up to Rockport when we look at it.
