Middletown, RI, July 14, 2022 – The Norman Bird Sanctuary is happy to announce that Harvest Fair is returning to Aquidneck Island. One of New England’s most popular fall fairs, the Harvest Fair brings together over 10,000 community members for a celebration of the harvest season for all ages.

“We are so thrilled to offer the 48th Annual Harvest Fair,” said Executive Director of the Norman Bird Sanctuary, Kaity Ryan. “Harvest Fair celebrates the best of the fall in New England and we are so pleased to welcome the community back for what promises to be a bigger celebration than ever.”
