Hale Farm & Village in Bath has announced that this year’s annual Music in the Valley Folk & Wine Festival is celebrating 50 years.

The two-day festival, on the grounds of the village which recreates a 19th-century Ohio pioneer village, offers the usual period cooking and crafts demonstrations, with hands-on historical activities, as well as experiences and offerings you won’t find on the typical weekend. There’s the music, of course, programming in partnership with NE Ohio acoustic music nonprofit Folknet, with flatpicking guitarist/vocalist Hunter Skeens and his group the Forerunners playing what they call “grassed-up roots music” both says from noon to 3pm, and other folk artists playing throughout the grounds in informal settings. There will also be food history talks, including on fermentation and ice-cream making.

In addition, adults 21+ can purchase tasting tickets for 12 wine and mead tastings from Ohio producers.  Otherwise, all activities are family-friendly. Get tickets here or at the door.
