Squam Fest is just around the corner, and before you know it, the shores of Squam Lake will be transformed into an enchanting autumn gathering.
Picture this...
Brilliant fall foliage reflected across glittering Squam Lake. Ghouls and goblins wandering among the trees. Local makers displaying handcrafted treasures. Treasure keepers with one of a kind finds. Tarot card readers and intuitive readers offering a little glimpse into what may be waiting beyond the veil.
The scent of sweet and savory bites drifting through the air. Crafted brews and cocktails being poured. Live music carrying across the lake. Family activities for little ones and plenty of discoveries for the young at heart.
And yes, your four legged companions are welcome too.
Rain or shine, the magic goes on.
So why come for just an hour or two when you can make a whole weekend of it?
