This year’s Roxbury Russet Festival has an all-star lineup of activities for all to enjoy! From 12pm - 4pm, attendees will find:
- Crafts and activities (BINGO is back with some fun prizes!)
- Snacks and sweet apple cider from local orchards
- Local resources on farming and where to find fresh, seasonal produce in your community
- Demonstrations of cider pressing on a replica historic cider press
- Live music from the Seth Meicht Jazz Trio
- A visit from 19th century Roxbury pear whiz Enoch Bartlett
- And more!
Most exciting, it’s all FREE to the public thanks to support from GrowBoston!
AND, the fun doesn’t stop when the festival ends. Right at 4pm, we’ll be hosting a 21+ craft beer tasting with brews from Long Live Roxbury, including a small-batch graff beer created exclusively for the festival featuring Terpenes from Rooted In! Once you grab some beer, we'll have a seat for a lecture by Helen Humphreys, author of The Ghost Orchard: The Hidden History of the Apple in North America. Parents are welcome to bring their little ones - wristbands will be issued at the door for those above 21 who will be participating in the tasting.
Online registration for the craft beer tasting is highly encouraged, as space is limited. Registration is $35 per person and includes beer tasting, a dinner buffet, and admission to the lecture.
