Harvest Fest, presented by Eastern Bank [session 2]

Harvest Fest is Somerville Local First’s annual fall fundraiser and celebration.  


Held at Arts @ The Armory and presented in 2012 by SLF Member Eastern Bank, Harvest Fest brings together local: beer, wine, music, art and restaurants for one of the best tasting events of the year.  Needless to say, we do the ‘nonprofit gala’ thing a little bit differently.


The festivities will be broken down into two sessions, Session 1 from 1-5 pm and Session 2 from 6-10 pm, and will bring together the best businesses in the local movement all under one great roof at Arts @ The Armory.
