Enjoy a day of family fun and educational adventures as you step back in time. Explore our scenic gardens, historic buildings, and engage with friendly guides who bring Falmouth’s rich history to life. Highlights include a husking bee reenactment, pumpkin patch, storytelling, kid’s games, music by the Falmouth Fiddlers, and a mini farmers market.
Falmouth Fall Festival revives the historic tradition of husking parties, a key community activity in the 18th and 19th century that once ensured local families had food for the winter. Like the husking frolics of the past, our event brings the community together to celebrate our agricultural heritage, with fun, history, and a sense of shared purpose which in this case is to help restore the c. 1790 Dr. Francis Wicks House Museum on Falmouth’s Village Green.
Bourbon & Butter Baking Co., the Fresh Roll food truck, Sea Scoops ice cream truck, Bootstrap Farm Club, Farming Falmouth, and Hale Bone Broth will be onsite for this event!
Admission is FREE. A suggested $15 donation supports the Fix Wicks Campaign. Register HERE.
