    Vinnie S.

    My wife and I love going to CT fairs. We have never been to the Brooklynn fair so we made the trek. Luckily, Waze took us in a great way and led us to a parking lot right next to the fair. From the outside, the fair looked small but once we got in we saw that it was a pretty good sized fair with lots to eat. We enjoyed looking at all the animals, arts and crafts and food entries. We also loved all the fair food and there was a lot to choose from. We had buffalo burgers and hand cut fries and topped it off with some fried dough. We had a lot of fun and good eats.

    Same old stuff, same food and vendors but less of them. Very few activities with long waits between each. Boring.

    Portuguese Holy Ghost Festival - Lounge entrance

    Portuguese Holy Ghost Festival

    So this is a spot that I was asked to come to to meet and decorate cars for a birthday parade for a…read morelittle girl. Her grandmother had put something on Facebook asking people if they would join the parade because their family is from other states. So I was happy to do it. Next week is my grandson's birthday parade and I know that he will have a lot of friends and family in the parade so it really hit home. I can't imagine being in this pandemic away from family almost completely. I have family in different parts of the country and some that I haven't seen in over a year and it's very hard so I was sympathetic. But this is also the place that has the Portuguese festival in August which is wonderful. They have a carnival with rides and games. Portuguese food that is homemade is served and it is wonderful. They also sell drinks and beer and have entertainment. Parking for the feast can be kind of tricky but there are back roads here that you can go and park on and walk down. They also have the traditional parade down Main Street and it's just a very nice old fashion traditional religious feast. Of course this past summer we did not attend because of the pandemic there was no feast. It was really disappointing but there were still people out with their Portuguese flags in front of their homes. They had their homes decorated and they really did their best to keep the spirit of the feast. I hope that we will be able to celebrate with them next year.

I've heard or read many different names for this celebration - which includes a feast, carnival, concerts and parades - but for the sake of brevity, many locals simply call it the "Portuguese Lala" (I'm not Portuguese, so I have no idea what that means). The focal point of activity is the Portuguese Holy Ghost Society's complex, which, beginning Friday, Aug. 31, was the site of carnival rides, concerts and food concessions. Admission to the festival grounds and concert was free and open to the general public. On Saturday, my wife and I saw Dirty Deeds, an AC/DC tribute band, and they were awesome, both looking and sounding like the original band. My wife remarked that it was entertaining to see people of our generation acting like they were in their early 20s again. In order to buy food or beer, you purchase tickets, and then redeem them. Sunday's events included a parade (procession) in the morning, followed by an auction later in the day, and the Parade of Lights at night, with participants throwing candy from floats. My family watched the parade on East Main Street, near Providence Street, as Town Councilman Jay Messier recorded the event and pumped up the crowd. We later watched fireworks from a parking lot near the town's public works garage. All in all, it's a lot of entertainment for little or no money, and also an opportunity to sample some Portuguese food.

Spoke with the Director who called himself Phinn, he gave me a personal tour until he was called away. I would recommend this to any family. Word of advice though, go straight to Stage Fort Park to par your car. There is no parking at the castle for the event.

Not only did the actors and actresses stay in character the WHOLE time but they all here very helpful with questions on the merchandise and had a great sense of humor while interacting with guests. If you're looking to compare it to King Richard's Faire, the Abbadia Fest actually felt like you were going to a village in medieval times WITHOUT the corporate hype you can get at regular fests! Price was resonable and parking was great since there was a shuttle to and from the Castle. Also the fact it was in Gloucester,MA was great b.c it's a much shorter drive than other fests I attend. Another positive was that the event caters to both adults and children. I never once felt anything was inappropriate for any age. In a nutshell, if you're looking for something new for the whole family or just want a change from the same ol summer routine check out Abbadia Mare Renaissance Festival! Thanks for a great time guys!

The trucks I experienced: The Grub Guru 3.5 star - the gen gau was amazing, crispy and sweet. I had wanted orange chicken, but they didnt have it despite it being on the menu. It is an Indian truck and the rice was listed as fried rice but it was clearly basmati. It was not good. I have to say their drink prices are some of the most reasonable at the festival. Ts Jerky House 5 star - the bbq sundae with cornbread, beans, and smokey brisquet was amazing. Topped with crispy onions for texture. Elote corn 3 star - I tried the buttered lime but there was no lime. The corn was definitely best of the season. Shitakaberries 5 star - we opted for something sweet and this was great. We got the reverse tiger, dark chocolate with white drizzle. 7 bucks for 5 berries on a stick. It was definetly about the experience. TC Scoops 4 stars - we each got a single scoop and a topping for 4 dollars. It was just ok, but my bf loved the cherry. Reds 5 star - really personable. Reasonably priced, especially the drinks, which is what drew me there. He realized he ignored me and gave me the drink free of charge. A definite place for customer service.

    Cranberry Harvest Celebration - Cranberry bogging

    Cranberry Harvest Celebration

    I think the lesson learned here is: go early. Jamie and I trailed our way down to Wareham to…read morepartake in the quintessential "fall in New England" experience that is a cranberry festival. Unfortunately, arriving at just before 3:30PM is far too late to enjoy nearly any part of what A.D. Makepeace put together for the 2016 Cranberry Harvest Celebration. Admission was $10 a piece for adults, with the option to pay either with cash or debit/credit card. With no map or guide to show you what to do or where to go, you may end up wandering around quite awhile. Upon entrance, we happened to see a sign that said "last bus to the bog 3:30". Since we weren't quite sure what else was going on, we walked briskly to the bus location, hopped on, and took a short ride to the bogs. The scenery upon arrival was exactly what you'd picture: a flooded bog with cranberries floating aloft, fall colors highlighting the trees, people in waders running their hands through this year's harvest. I saw several festival-goers in said waders, tromping through a sectioned off part of the bog, and got super excited. Could this be my next profile photo?? (trying to be hip, here). We disembarked the school bus and were abruptly greeted with a sign, pricing activities. The cost of a stereotypical "basic" girl's new FB photo? $25 per person. Groups of 4 or more get in for $90, which I guess is a nod towards families. Outrageous. You're provided with waders; for $25 you get to play in bog water and snap your own photos on your iPhone. We decided to skip it, which ended up being a moot point, as they stopped this activity at 3:30PM. If they decided to offer this for $10, I think that'd be a fair price. You'd have a line the entire time. We walked around, snapping photos of the bog, before spotting a couple of food stands and treating ourselves to $3 corn dogs. Everything appeared to be packing up. I stopped by a beer stand (which had been giving out free samples), only to be told they were out of cups, and then, that they were no longer giving samples as it was after their cut off time. We did get to enjoy one fun activity: bog in a cup! Ocean Spray provides a little hands-on experience for festival goers to start their own cranberry bog (in a plastic cup), which they get to take home. It was a cute, somewhat kitschy doing, but at least we got to participate in something. Since everything was shuttering its doors out on the bogs, we got in line to head back to the main festival, hoping there would still be things to do and see there. Nope. Once again, everything was closing down: food vendors, crafts booths, historical/educational opportunities, recreational activities. This was around 4:15PM or thereabouts. Apparently, according to their FB site, the event is done around 4PM. If we arrived at a few minutes before 3:30, don't you think someone would mention that they're wrapping things up? I drowned my disappointment in a sticky, chewy caramel apple, and we walked down the road back to the truck. I'm sure that, had we gone at 10:00AM when the gates were opened, we would have been inundated with a surging crowd of New Englanders, all jockeying to get the best position to watch a bog's harvest, or queuing up to pick through cranberries, or any number of other fun, interesting, and educational activities that were offered here. So, the moral of the story is: go early, enjoy all the offerings, but expect crowds (apparently, "tens of thousands of people" descended upon Tihonet Pond this weekend).

    When we made plans to do a week in New England, this was the main thing we wanted to do (besides…read moreeat lots of seafood). The festival is so well organized with tons of volunteers & helpers to guide you around. They have buses to take folks from the parking lot to the entrance, and buses to take you out to the cranberry bogs. Everything runs timely & smoothly. There were lots of vendors giving out samples & tastes, so that everyone who wants some freebies can get some. They also have food trucks, crafts, baked goods, and more booths than we could visit. We donned waders & got in the cranberry bog. It costs $25, but I figure how many chances will I ever have to be in a cranberry bog?! It's a weird sensation & you can feel the vines under your feet. Warning: if you do the bog, be careful of your footing. It's slippery & we saw three people fall over so that their waders filled with water. But it's still quite a sensation & a unique photo op. Tip: get the lobster rolls & chips-- a tasty lunch & a pretty good deal! Friendly staff makes this festival all the more fun.
