Porchfest is building on an annual town tradition the second Saturday in September. Each summer, the quiet town of Williamsburg, Massachusetts, comes alive with tradition, community, and country charm at the annual Grange Fair. Held at the local Grange Hall, this beloved event has been a fixture in the town’s cultural calendar for generations, celebrating the area’s agricultural roots and rural heritage.
The fair features a wide variety of exhibits and competitions, including homegrown produce, baked goods, handcrafted items, and floral arrangements. Local residents of all ages submit their entries, hoping for a coveted blue ribbon. Families gather to admire the creativity and craftsmanship that reflect the heart of the community.
In addition to exhibits, the fair often includes live music, children’s games, and community meals—like homemade pie and corn on the cob—that bring people together in a warm, festive spirit. It’s also a chance for longtime neighbors and newcomers alike to connect and share stories.
The Williamsburg Grange Fair is more than just an event—it’s a celebration of tradition, a tribute to local talent, and a testament to the enduring spirit of small-town New England.
