Harvest Fair 1775: Revolution Rising
2025-10-18
Harvest Fair 1775: Revolution Rising
October 18-19, 2025 | 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. (Saturday), 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. (Sunday) | Historic Lewes Town Campus, 110 Shipcarpenter Street
Admission: $10.00
Join Historic Lewes in commemorating the American Revolution in our community 250 years later, stepping back into the autumn of 1775. The everyday people of this hardworking town would have been shocked at how much their world had changed over the past year, beginning as uneasy subjects of a British Crown and now ending as a colony in revolt. News flies down the Delaware River from Philadelphia hard and fast, bringing word of battles outside of Boston, an American invasion of Canada, petitions and legislation by Congress, and orders to put soldiers in readiness to fight against the might of an Empire. All of this drama set against the annual need to bring in the harvest’s bounty and prepare for the long winter ahead. As the war intensifies and fires hearts across the continent, a Revolution is Rising.
Visitors to the Historic Lewes Town Campus on October 18 and 19th will step into the swirl of activity Lewestowners experienced in the Fall of 1775. Talk to the inhabitants of this strategic port on Delaware Bay as they demonstrate historical activities, come to grips with current events, and do their best to celebrate a successful harvest, even in trying times. Enjoy live music, shop with historically-inspired vendors in our market, watch soldiers prepare for war, see a blacksmith and other tradespeople hard at work, enjoy a kid-centered punch and judy puppet show…and brace yourself for the year of Revolution to come!
Admission to this fan-favorite living history event is $10.00 per person (Youth 12 and Under are Free!), the proceeds of which support the ongoing efforts of Historic Lewes to keep history happening in our community.
