About the event
Experience Gore Place’s celebrated spring event, the Sheepshearing Festival, on Saturday, April 26, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (RAIN OR SHINE). This unique event takes place on one of the last farms in Greater Boston, just nine miles west of the city!
Since 1987, this annual festival has entertained guests with music, handmade goods by local crafters and fiber artists, demonstrations of traditional shearing, herding dogs, and historic re-enactors—all on the beautiful grounds of this historic, 50-acre estate. We will be tented up with our best sellers and some thing new!
According to Executive Director and festival organizer Susan Robertson, “We’re proud that the Sheepshearing Festival has become a New England spring tradition for so many. People often tell us that spring doesn’t begin until the Sheepshearing Festival!”
