Westminster Cracker Festival

The Westminster Village Foundation hosts the annual Westminster Cracker Festival in downtown Westminster, October 21, 10:00-5:00pm.

This festival, celebrating Westminster’s most cherished historic industry, is a free event that will feature a 5K road race, food and craft vendors, live music, kids’ activities, Wachusett beer, and, of course, Westminster crackers. There will also be a big raffle at the info booth, along with sale of official Westminster Cracker Festival merchandise, including sweatshirts, stoneware mugs, and more, so don’t miss out!

There will be plenty of free parking throughout downtown Westminster, as well as a shuttle that will travel between all parking locations and bring festival-goers to the main event. This festival is fully ADA compliant.

The cost of signing up to walk or run the road race is currently $25, however the price will increase after October 15, so be sure to sign up in advance!

All proceeds from the Westminster Cracker Festival will go to the Westminster Village Foundation to be used for the benefit of the local community.
