The Chatsworth Cranberry Festival Celebrates New Jersey's Crimson Fruit

Out past the pygmy pines, in the heart of New Jersey’s Pine Barrens, lies the historic village of Chatsworth.

Every year, in the third week in October, visitors from around the state make the trip to Chatsworth - “The Capital of the Pines“ - for the annual Chatsworth Cranberry Festival, which celebrates all things cranberry.

This year will be no exception. The 32nd Annual Cranberry Festival in Chatsworth will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

The event celebrates the state’s cranberry harvest - the third largest in the United States - and pays honor to the Pine Barrens and local culture.

A number of artists and crafters will be on hand to demonstrate their art and displaying them for sale.

Admission to the festival is free. A donation of $5 will be accepted if visitors use the parking area located at the school off Second Street.

The event is organized by The Festival Committee of Chatsworth for the restoration and preservation of the historic White Horse Inn.
