ROOTS REGGAE CLUB

The Old 78 Farm Festival returns to Warwick, MA, this fall, on the heels of a highly successful inaugural festival last October. The festival features an even more impressive musical line-up, with headliner Adam Ezra Group returning along with fast-rising funk-rockers Love in Stockholm from Boston. Old 78 will have something for everyone, including lots of great barbecue food, farm goods, a petting zoo, and various vendors (last year featured home-made clothing, face painting, a massage table, and henna tattoos.) Also making an appearance will be escape-artist Jason Escape, who will no doubt leave you in awe and amazement!

Angel and Phil Simon, along with Lynn Englen, slowly have been developing the 150 year old house and property into a productive farm which boasts a sizable garden, laying and meat chickens, rabbit, duck, turkey and more. “This festival is a way for us to tie all of the elements of our lives- the food we are producing from the farm, the clothing that we hand craft, and the music that we love all into an event for the community. We can showcase who we are at Old 78, and who we all are in the heart of New England. It looks like we will be doubling the number of vendors, and hopefully attendees too!” exclaimed the Simons. In addition to the food products, Old 78 Farm is producing clothing made of entirely recycled, reclaimed, and reused material.

The festival is still looking to add any interested vendors and volunteers to help out at the festival. Volunteers will be compensated with free admission and some Old 78 hospitality!
