Music in The Barn - 2019
This year saw major renovations to the barn which meant we were unable to offer open mic sessions this summer, but we hope it will improve things for next year.
We were excited however to host a one time music event in the fall called Farmington Fest. There were 3 bands on stage over the course of the evening as well as a Pop Up Artisan Market and Live Painting.
We are hoping this will become an annual event.
