The A.D. Makepeace Company will host the second annual Cranberry Blossom Festival on Saturday, June 28, featuring a grower-guided tour of cranberry bogs in bloom and a variety of other events.

The Cranberry Blossom Festival is an opportunity for locals and visitors to view the bogs during one of the most picturesque and important times of year. This agricultural experience covers the history of cranberry industry, the importance of pollination, a discussion of what the plant needs during each season, and allows for plenty of photographs and discussion. Other activities that will be offered during the event include a self-guided nature walk, a selection of local crafters and food vendors, wagon rides, complimentary face painting by Art on the Spot, and an agriculturally inspired scavenger hunt.  Children will receive a “blossom bag” filled with educational materials.

Vendors will include Mass Grown, Cape Cod Cranberry Growers Association, Hebert Honey, Chelsea Fire Hot Sauce, Coletta Crafts, Edible South Shore Magazine, Herb-in-Fusion, Makepeace Farms, Mermaids on Cape Cod, Rock Village Publishing, Renee Designs, The Art Shoppe, The Xerces Society, Big Brothers and Big Sisters, The Sandpiper, Cervelli Farms, Crazy for Cookies, The Mad Batter Bakery, The Nut Jerk, and Wicked Smokin’ BBQ.

The annual "Make it Better with Cranberries" cookbook release ceremony will take place at noon. Cookbook publishers Edward and Yolanda Lodi from Rock Village Publishing will be on hand to present authors with the copy of the 2014 cookbook.

The Cranberry Blossom Festival will be held on Saturday, June 28 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Rosebrook Business Park and the adjacent Cranberry Bogs, 100 Rosebrook Way, Wareham.  Admission will be $5 per person, those under the age of seven will be admitted free, and parking will be free.
