MIDDLEBORO — The Middleborough Tourism Committee will sponsor the 9th Annual Crantoberfest from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 15 at the Middleborough Town Hall, 10 Nickerson Ave.

Admission and parking are free for this family-friendly event.

Events include the great Cranberry Bakeoff. To enter this event, register by emailing Crantoberfest@gmail.com. All entries must contain cranberries and include a list of ingredients. 

Entries must be large enough to allow five judges to taste. First, second and third place prizes will be awarded to the entries receiving the most votes from the panel of judges.

The event will include the crowning of the new Ms. Crantoberfest 2022. Contestants will give an opening statement as to why they think they would be the best Ms. Crantoberfest and answer questions about the cranberry industry. 

The winner receives a crown and sash and gets to represent Middleborough Tourism at various events throughout the year.

The kid’s costume parade will take place again this year and multiple prizes will be awarded for first, second and third places as well as for special categories.

Cranberry games will be available all day for kids of all ages at no charge. There will be food, and merchandise vendors, a beer garden, and Middleborough merchandise available for purchase.
