Calendar of Events
Hopewell Valley offers many opportunities for engaging with history, nature, local and farm to table cuisine, and artistic endeavors. In addition to the attraction of harvest time and the awesome fall colors that grace our region, this calendar outlines activities that take place in the valley and nearby over the course of The Stampede. We invite you to enjoy these activities and events as you explore. Grab a picnic at the Pennington Market, Brick Farm Market or an area restaurant, and take this opportunity to discover new places or revisit familiar ones. Check out the shops and galleries. Follow the links for more information, visit Art in the Valley to find out about creative opportunities, and send us ideas for items to add to the calendar that we might have missed. Have fun!
