Get ready for a day of vibrant energy, local pride, and global flavors! The NEPM Asparagus Festival 2025 is coming to Hadley Town Common on Saturday, June 7, and Positively Africana is thrilled to be part of this beloved Western Massachusetts tradition.
A Festival Rooted in Heritage
Did you know? Western Massachusetts was once known as “the asparagus capital of the world”—a testament to the region’s deep agricultural roots. This festival isn’t just about celebrating a delicious vegetable (though the fresh asparagus dishes are a must-try!); it’s a joyful gathering of local artisans, musicians, food vendors, and neighbors coming together to honor community spirit.
And this year, we’re adding a touch of African brilliance to the mix!
Discover Authentic African Treasures at Our Booth
At Positively Africana, we believe in the power of culture to connect and inspire. That’s why we’re bringing a curated selection of handcrafted African artistry to the festival—each piece telling a story of tradition, craftsmanship, and contemporary style.
Here’s what you’ll find at our booth:
- Bold, handcrafted jewelry – From statement beads to intricate metalwork
- Cultural accessories – Bags, scarves, and more with vibrant African prints
- Traditional-meets-modern fusion pieces – Perfect for adding global flair to everyday style
- And so much more!
