The NEPM Asparagus Festival is a free event for all to enjoy with a suggested donation of $20 per family, or $5 per person to support public media in western Mass.
Everyone who registers early is entered to win a pair of VIP festival passes to the Green River Festival, June 21-23 at the Greenfield Fair Grounds!
Known as “the asparagus capital of the world,” western Massachusetts is home to hundreds of working farms and many more locally-owned restaurants and breweries. Now in its tenth year, NEPM’s Asparagus Festival returns on Saturday, June 1st from 10AM to 7PM. The family-friendly festival spans the full length of Hadley’s Town Common and offers a full day of fantastic food and family friendly fun. Enjoy live music, while local breweries will pour beer, wine and cider in the Beers & Spears tent, and fifteen of our favorite local food trucks will serve up everything from fried asparagus to ice cream.
