CiderFeast New England 2021 Recap

A Uniquely New England Event

The first CiderFeast New England was held on June 24 at the historic downtown river boardwalk in Haverhill, Massachusetts. Jimmy Carbone, who grew up in Haverhill, started hosting Cider Week NY events at his New York City beer bar in 2011 and annually hosts CiderFeast events as part of Cider Week. Since 2011, Steve Wood of Farnum Hill and Eleanor Leger of Eden Ciders have been asking Jimmy to host a June cider event. He finally made it happen and will make CiderFeast New England an annual event in his home town.

The harmonious confluence of climate and soil, coupled with the Puritan value of self-sufficient agriculture, gave New England an unrivaled crop of apples. As the region was settled, easy transport via abundant waterways fueled the growth of the apple industry.

Monday online at @teamhaverhill Possoble Dreams, March 14, people will be talking about Design as the first step in planning new projects in historic downtown #haverhillma 

Future design of the new Basiliere Bridge?
Future attractions: a shoe museum? art market?  Performance art center?

We will be presenting about Alleys...

Activating our Downtown Alleys as Public Spaces
Alleys are often forgotten and empty spaces in our downtown environment.  However, they hold  great potential as an event space or lively, green public space.  

Next steps, small steps: 
At @haverhillartwalk June 11, with @fishbrookdesign and design students, we will have people sketching in several of the downtown alleys between Washington St and Wingate St. Followed by a design review party at former @switchboard_haverhill aka @sj_artconsulting on Washington Street.
