Fiddle 'n Folk Fest Returning to Haines Park

A lineup of fiddle-laced musicians are coming to Haines Memorial State Park on Sept. 15.

A homegrown music festival returns to Haines Memorial State Park in Riverside and Barrington in three weeks.

The third annual Fiddle ‘n Folk Fest is on tap – as in foot-tapping and hand-clapping. It will run from noon to 6 pm on Saturday, Sept. 15. 

The free festival is being organized by the Local Brew Coffeehouse crew of Barrington. But it features a lineup of musicians from throughout southern New England.
