The fun-filled event is quickly approaching, and you don’t want to miss it. In addition to cranberries galore, the annual event includes over 1,000 vendors, nearly 100 food booths, and lots more. Take a look:

Every September, thousands of people flock to Warrens for the town’s annual Cranberry Festival. But not just any cranberry festival. We’re talking about the world’s largest cranberry festival.

A free-to-attend event, it’s always the last full weekend in September. This year, it’s September 27-29, 2019 (7 a.m. – 9 p.m. daily).

The festival has come a long way since it began in 1973 with just 75 vendor booths. Now an international event, it attracts more than 130,000 visitors each year.
