Summer UnWINEd Concert Series
On Friday’s at the farm, the festival field comes alive with live music, delicious eats and an endless amount of fun! Load up your family and friends in the car, bring a chair and sing along with music from local artists beginning at 6:30 p.m. Satisfy your tastebuds and stop by one of the many food stands where you can treat yourself to Best Darn Kettle Corn, funnel cake, burgers, fries and more! Craft beers, Rose Bank Winery’s wine and cocktails made from PA spirits are available for guests 21 and up. The kids can even join in on the fun as they play on the festival playground, visit farm animals and participate in lawn games.
The Farm Market and Garden Center

COMING SOON: Fall Fest!
Keep an eye out in the months to come for Shady Brook Farm’s Fall Fest! New to Fall Fest this year will be their “Erie Illuminations,” which will begin on September 24, 2021. During Fall Fest, you can take a hayride out to the pumpkin fields to pick your own pumpkin. After nightfall, roam the pumpkin fields and pick your pumpkin out by flashlight. Challenge yourself to complete the hay or corn maze or relax by a campfire and enjoy some live music. For horror enthusiasts, take a visit to the Barn of Horror or Alien Encounter to see some “ghoulish ghouls.”
