Be Part of the Festivities
The Cracker Festival is a community effort! It wouldn’t be the same wonderful event without our vendors, sponsors, and community support.
Vendors
Approximately 100 vendors from all over Massachusetts attend the Westminster Cracker Festival. These clothing, craft, farm and food vendors help make this event a great success.
Sponsorship
Our generous and loyal sponsors are the financial backbone of the Westminster Cracker Festival. Many of our sponsors have supported us since its inception in 2015.
Main Street Scarecrows
Help Westminster get into the fall spirit and add flair to the festival. Free to enter, cash prizes for 1st, 2nd, 3rd places.
Donations
Support from our community and attendees means everything to the Festival. Your tax deductible donation helps us put on this free festival to improve our community.
Parade of Princesses & Princes
Kids, join the Cracker Queen in your princess or prince costume for a procession into the festival!
5k Run/Walk
Kick-off festival day with a 5k through our own Main Street and back roads. The family-friendly course is prime for a PR!
There is always a need for more helping hands! Email us to volunteer before, during, or after the festival.
Since 2015 thousands of people have joined our community celebration held on the 3rd Saturday of October in the Village Center. The Westminster Cracker Festival is a free event featuring a 5K road race, food and craft vendors, live music, kids activities, Wachusett beer, wine and — of course — Westminster crackers!
While you’re waiting…
We can’t wait until October either! Until then, here’s some Festival fun to check out.
