Chatsworth Cranberry Festival in Chatsworth

A two-day fall harvest festival at the Route 563 and Route 532 intersection in Chatsworth, New Jersey, held the third full weekend of October in the heart of the Pine Barrens cranberry-growing region. Widely described as one of the largest outdoor festivals in the state, it centers on cranberry jellies, sauces, and wines alongside hundreds of vendors, continuous live music, and children's activities.

Pine Barrens cranberry growers turn a rural crossroads in Chatsworth, New Jersey, into one of the state's largest single-weekend outdoor festivals each October, timed precisely to the local cranberry harvest.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's location and timing are inseparable from the crop it celebrates: Chatsworth sits at the center of the South Jersey Pine Barrens cranberry-bog region, and the festival's third-weekend-of-October date lines up with the harvest at its most visually dramatic, when flooded bogs across the area turn red with floating ripe cranberries

02

The mystery stays covered

Hundreds of vendors sell cranberry jellies, sauces, and wines made from the local harvest, and the event's scale, drawing crowds large enough to be called one of New Jersey's biggest outdoor festivals, sets it apart from smaller regional harvest fairs
