Forest Festival

Check back in Summer 2027 for information about Forest Festival 2027!

Take a horse-drawn wagon ride through the Mount Tom Forest, try your hand at woodworking, or bring a picnic and blanket/chairs and enjoy live music in the pony pasture. Witness the whole forest product cycle in action, from logging to sawmilling to woodcraft. Meet local foresters, artisans, and community organizers. Enjoy family-friendly programs and ranger-led experiences celebrating the ecological and cultural value of the forest.

Parking is located at Billings Farm & Museum. Take the paved path to the right of the Billings Farm Visitor Center and cross Elm St to enter the national park. A shuttle is available on event days to transport visitors from the parking lot to the festival. See Directions for details.
