Harvest Fest 2026
This is the Farm's biggest fundraising and food + wine event of the year. Held on the Farm grounds, under a tent draped with twinkling lights, Harvest Fest is a magical evening, featuring seasonal fare by local farmers and chefs, live music by Amber Anchor and Farmer Nick’s Band, and more. Wine and signature cocktails will be flowing! In addition to fab food and drinks, there will be a live auction, including a variety of exclusive culinary and travel experiences, such as private chef dinners in our very own Tim’s Kitchen; VIP trips, an exclusive stay at Watch Hill's luxe Ocean House resort, a Wine Wall, a Mixed Bar Wall, and a Paddle Raise to help us raise funds to support our educational efforts.
It's a FUN-Raiser!
We are doing the event cocktail-party style, with tents and multiple food stations (no sit-down dinner) so guests can mix and mingle and stroll the gardens and grounds. Please arrive on time, as the main food portion of the evening is from 6-7:30 pm. After the eating + drinking...we will be bringing the guests inside the tent for a live band, more drinks, dessert, and the real reason we are all here: The live auction and paddle raise to support the Farm’s mission to provide education to folks of all ages, incomes, and abilities. Once the live auction wraps, it's time to hit the dance floor and groove to our live band!
Thanks to supporters like you, Wakeman Town Farm has made a difference in the community for 10+ years. We’d like to invite you to celebrate that achievement and support our next decade of community impact.
This is more than just a fun night out. It’s the Farm’s most important fundraiser of the year. We count on attendees and guests to bid on live auction items and/or raise paddles to support the Farm at this event. It’s a FUNraiser, so please plan to give generously!
Seating is Limited + Tickets Sell Out Extremely Fast!
This is a communal seating event, so you may be sitting next to “new friends.” We are unable to reserve full or partial tables for groups.
Dietary/Menu Note
Sorry! We cannot accommodate special dietary restrictions. Our chefs work tirelessly to create the evening's menu based on what's best in the local markets.
Cancellation & Refunds Note
Regrettably, we cannot issue refunds, as we have accrued considerable costs in planning the event. If you’d like to pass along your ticket to a friend, kindly have them come in your name to eliminate issues at check in.
