Salon Sundays Return to Stonewell Farm – Sunday, June 28
Looking for one of those rare afternoons where you arrive intending to stay for an hour and somehow find yourself there until sunset?
Salon Sundays at Stonewell Farm are exactly that kind of place.
Held on the last Sunday of each month of Summer (June, July, August), these magical mini festivals bring together live music, storytelling, movement, poetry, art, conversation, incredible local food, and the simple pleasure of spending a summer afternoon surrounded by community.
Bring a blanket, bring the kids, bring your grandparents, or come on your own. Wander through the farm, meet the goats and friendly chickens, find a shady spot under the apple trees, explore the yurt and the many stages and performance spaces, enjoy a drink from the licensed bar, and settle in for a day that unfolds at its own relaxed pace.
