Harvest Moon Festival – Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum, Warner NH
September 26 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
RAIN OR SHINE!
Join us at Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum, at 18 Highlawn Road in Warner, tomorrow, Saturday, September 26th from 10 am – 3 pm for our annual family-friendly Harvest Moon Festival. The festival is a Native American celebration of the harvest, the end of one cycle and the beginning of another. Harvest Moon is about more than just crops and food, it is a celebration of a season’s worth of hard work throughout the community.
The day will include the opportunity to make dolls from corn husks, sweet grass braids and hear traditional Abenaki storytelling. There is also a special scavenger hunt activity to complete – even the adults will have fun with this! Enjoy watching a live demonstration of flint-knapping, and learn the process of how acorn flour is made. Listen to the enthralling beats of Walking Bear Singers. There will be sensory-friendly activities and games. The entire family will savor the taste of Native foods, including the ever-popular Hidatsa bison stew and three-sisters soup. Tickets are available at the gate the day of the event.
