Media Alert: Plimoth Patuxet Museums to Host Grain Fest

Event to take place November 8, 11 am - 3 pm

Plymouth, Massachusetts (October 31, 2025) – Plimoth Patuxet Museums is pleased to announce that it will be hosting Grain Fest, an outdoor festival that will take place at the Museum’s main campus, located at 137 Warren Ave, Plymouth, Massachusetts, on November 8, 11 am - 3 pm.

In the past, grains such as corn and wheat went from farm, to mill, to table. Today, Plimoth Patuxet works with local and regional partners to reinvigorate their production. At Grain Fest, you’ll learn how you can be a part of the growing local grain chain while meeting millers, bakers, brewers and other partners who grow and make things with grains.
