Meet our Barnyard Friends!

Wilson Farm warmly welcomes you to an up-close experience with some charming farm animals. It’s a delightful opportunity for families—especially kids—to:

• Meet Alpacas — gentle, enchanting, and soft to the touch

• Say Hello to Goats — playful and curious, these goats love attention

• Check Out the Chickens — cheerful and active in their coop

• Visit a Friendly Cow — getting up close with one of the farm’s gentle giants

This event is free, but advance registration is required. Spots are limited and tend to fill up quickly—so be sure to call in ahead to reserve your place.

Reservoir Beach Beer Garden and Concert Series

Enjoy free live music from local and regional bands while lounging on the sandy beach. Picnics and seated areas make it a relaxing, community-focused evening.

Presented by Arlington Brewing Company, the beer garden opens at 5:30 PM—before concerts begin at 6:00 PM—and operates until 8:30 PM. Expect craft brews including seasonal offerings and fan favorites.

Local food trucks and onsite vendors offer a variety of snacks and meals to pair with your drink. Visitors can bring their own picnics or enjoy freshly prepared bites onsite.

Admission is free, though donations are appreciated to help support the series. These events are family-friendly and open to the public—please note that dogs are not allowed at the beach during concerts.

Art in August 2025

Throughout the entire month of August, downtown Winchester transforms into an open‑air gallery featuring the work of local artists. Art is displayed in storefront windows and inside participating businesses.

On Saturday, August 17, the festival highlights Art in the Park—a free, family‑friendly arts showcase on the Winchester Common alongside the farmers’ market. Expect artist demonstrations, participatory activities, and works for sale by community artists.

This vibrant community festival offers a wonderful opportunity to explore local creativity, meet artists in casual gallery settings, and enjoy arts‑centered events free of charge.

Family Farm Night

On Tuesday, August 5, Wright‑Locke Farm hosts a Family Farm Night featuring Dandelion, a folk‑inspired children’s music group, playing from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

The farm opens its gates at 5:30 PM, inviting families to grab a blanket or lawn chair, bring a picnic and non‑alcoholic drinks, and enjoy live music in the beautiful farm setting. Light snacks and treats from Farm to Go—like popsicles and popcorn—are available, and adults can purchase beverages at the cash bar.

The event encourages early arrival, as parking is limited to designated lots, and it’s canceled in case of inclement weather such as thunderstorms.

This delightful evening offers a relaxed, nature-rich backdrop for kids and parents to enjoy folk melodies, family time, and the farm’s scenic ambience.
