It All Ends in Fairhaven at the Fairhaven Festival. Perfect weather, with clear skys and a temperature that reached 68 degrees mid afternoon, helped make our annual party the biggest ever. The record number of food vendors - 24 - and over 60 craft vendors all enjoyed a great day. The Village Green had a record 25 Non-Protit organizations. The rock bands near the beer garden and the more mellow music on the Village Green were each enjoyed by the record number of festival goers. We thank all - organizers and attendees for a great fun day in Fairhaven.
