Harvest Festival at Northshore Unitarian Universalist Church

As nature’s paintbrush transforms the landscape, thoughts turn to apple cider, pumpkins, and corn mazes. These perennial symbols of fall signal the onset of the holiday season, and that means gift shopping. Check your list and head to the Harvest Festival at the Northshore Unitarian Universalist Church, Danvers, where you will find a wide selection of handcrafted items.

Survey the displays of over 20 regional crafters in the Craft Boutique. Talented artisans and crafters will offer such unique and beautiful products as jewelry, stained glass, pottery and ceramics, handpainted home and garden décor, hand knit and crochet work, fabric home accessories, decorative wreaths, natural bath products, holiday ornaments, photographs, and art work.

Don’t miss the Bake Shop where you will be tempted to abandon your diet. The aroma of home baked items will draw you in – cookies, cakes, cupcakes, pies, brownies, bread. Gluten-free and nut-free goods too. Fudge and candy will satisfy your sweet tooth, and children’s snack bags will be the perfect take-along treat. In support of small farmers worldwide, fair trade coffee, tea, and chocolate will be for sale.

Visit Grandma’s Attic and give a household item a new home. Turn someone else’s castaway into your treasure. Don’t miss the Jewelry Rummage where you might find the perfect earrings and necklace to accessorize your wardrobe. You can’t beat the prices!

Plan a stop at the Harvest Café where you will be able to grab a snack or lunch of salad, quiche, chili, and dessert. Sit with friends as you renew your energy for more shopping.

Try your luck with the 50/50 Raffle where you could win half of the collected proceeds.
