Day 364 AD Makepeace Cranberry Harvest Festival 2014 in Wareham MA

The 11th annual Cranberry Harvest is Saturday and Sunday, October 11 and 12 from 10am to 4pm at AD Makepeace in Wareham MA.  The Harvest will take place rain or shine there are plenty of tents .

Juried crafters, food vendors, paddleboat rides, music, activities, free rides for kids. Watch a cranberry harvest. Ocean Spray tent featuring make your own bog in a cup.

After a short walk among vendors and children’s activities, hop on our complimentary bus to Frogfoot, where you’ll learn all about the cranberry harvest from our experts.  Stop bogside to listen to a member of our team explaining the science behind the harvest… then take out your camera to document the art behind the harvest!  You can listen to live bluegrass music, enjoy some snacks, watch our famous birds of prey exhibit, take a wagon ride around the bog, or, if you’re a kid, slide down a giant pile of sand (we don’t get it, but for a certain segment of the population, this is the highlight of their visit).  And don’t miss the Ocean Spray tent where you can make your own bog in a cup.

For an additional fee, you can take a short helicopter ride for a bird’s-eye view of the harvest, or upon your return to Tihonet Village, you can take a relaxing tour  around the pond in a duck or swan paddleboat.

Speaking of fees, admission is $10, $5 for seniors and military, and children under 7 are admitted free. And with the exception of the helicopter and paddleboat rides, and stuff you may buy for yourself, everything is included in that admission price.  It’s a tremendous value.
