Gore Place Sheep Shearing Festival

Since 1987, this annual event has entertained guests with music, 100+ craft and fiber artists, demonstrations of traditional shearing and herding dogs, and historic re-enactors on the beautiful grounds of this historic, 50-acre estate. 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!"

Food, Fiber, Craft, Demos and more all day! We’ll be bringing our flocks’ beautiful wool to the Fiber Artists Vendor Tent.
