Cow Parade at Cherry Grove Farm

Saturday November 1, 2025
1:00 PM - 6:00 PM

Our annual Cow Parade is a celebration in honor of the cows who have given us their milk all year. The Parade is inspired by the Swiss autumnal tradition of bringing the cows down from the high mountains where they have been grazing all summer. For their journey down the mountains the cows are decorated with elaborate flower headdresses and huge bells. We decorate our cows with flower garlands and smaller bells and they parade around the pastures. Join us for a fun afternoon with hayrides, lots of fun activities and crafts for children, food trucks, vendors, artists, artisans, and more. Our Cow Parade is a unique event which has become a beloved tradition in the community.

Sweeney Todd, Music Mountain Theater

Saturday November 1, 2025

Attend the dark, witty and Tony Award-winning tale of love, murder and revenge set against the backdrop of 19th century London. An infamous tale, Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, returns to nineteenth century London, seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which, he opens a new barber practice. Mrs. Lovett's luck sharply shifts when Todd's thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up... and the carnage has only just begun!

This production contains depictions of gore and dark themes that may be unsettling for younger or sensitive audiences. Please contact the box office for more details.
