This weekend the 47th Fall Foliage Festival is happening at Boothbay Railway Village (BRV), Saturday, Oct. 11 and Sunday, Oct. 12 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Now that the festival is part of the Maine Craft Weekend program, expect craft demonstrations including beeswax candles and pottery being fired a la the Raku technique. Demo schedules will be at the entrance gate.

The legendary selection of crafts and products, honey, organic soaps and lotions, winter attire, pottery, art, games, signs, jewelry and much more will not disappoint.

A festival without music — unheard of! This year’s local musicians are Tyler Richards, Murky Water Band, Noel Arrington and Gabe Tonon, the Oyster Creek Fiddlers, Boothbay Region Community Band, The Holy Mackerels and The Spaceheaters.

Food booths will offer everything from chowder to hamburgers to dessert pies and more.

BRV is located at 586 Wiscasset Road (Route 27) in Boothbay. Admission is $2 for adults and free for children and BRV members, but steam train rides will be $5 each for all non-members. Park free at the village and in the special event parking lot a next to T&D Variety.
