Basilica Hudson 2016 season
There will be two Basilica Farm & Flea markets this year -- in April and November.
The schedule is out for the new season at Basilica Hudson. The converted factory space near the train station in Hudson is again hosting a wide range of events: performances, talks, screenings, markets. And the popular Basilica Soundscape festival returns in September.
A compressed version of the schedule is after the jump.

we went to last year's 'flea' on black friday - beautiful venue but for us, it wasn't worth it. we were actually expecting a flea market, not a hipster farmer's market (I'd say at least 75% of the vendors were selling beer, note cards, something knitted, etc). it's not that that is bad, but it's not what we expected. is it great counter programming to generic box store black friday? you bet, but to call it a flea market is a stretch...

We went to Basilica Hudson last year some time in November only to find hundreds of people lining up outside in the cold, wet and windy weather to pay $5 admission fee. Can't imagine what was happening inside. Also, there was mud everywhere in the parking area. So we just got our boots dirty, shivered a bit and drove home. This was the worst experience at the event advertised at AOA this season.
The best one? Fiber Festival at The Big E in Springfield back in October. We had tons of fun: hubby tried pretty much every spin wheel and tapestry machine available and I loaded up on yarn. Also, we saw sheep shearing.
