The Town of Pittsfield is home to the Egg Festival. A quiet industrial community of less than 5,000 people, Pittsfield welcomes more than 35,000 visitors each July. A large Street Dance, Egglympics, Window Painting, Art Show and Craft Fair are just a few of the scheduled events during the week leading up to the Big Day – Saturday, July 16 - which features The Big Parade, Kiwanis Karnival with its rides and booths, and lots of music and food. It is the event of the year in the region.
The festivities start out with live music concerts at Hathorn Park on Monday, July 11. Tuesday, July 12 features the Art Show, Sidewalk Art Contest and Street Dance; and Wednesday, July 13 focuses on the famous “Egglympics” for the children; Art Show and live music at Hathorn Park.
The Festival prides itself on providing a venue for area non-profit groups to come together and fundraise for their programs. Literally hundreds of volunteers and non-profits gather every July to host a fun event for families and children while raising funds for their causes.
There is something for everyone in this exceptionally friendly town located on the banks of the Sebasticook River. Please enjoy Pittsfield’s hospitality!
