16th Annual Lupine Festival
June 5th - 21st
The annual blossoming of
the lupines is celebrated with the Fields of Lupine Festival,
a time honored regional event celebrating the arrival of Spring.
The lupine spikes
cover the local fields in purples, pinks, blues and
whites. Butterflies, attracted to the blossoms
create a magical mix of nature's finest against the majestic
backdrop of the towering peaks of the White Mountains.
Photographers from near and far venture to
the area to capture the colors of Spring in all their glory.
The event,
sponsored by the Franconia Notch Chamber of Commerce features
a wealth of activities, events, discounts, and deals throughout
the region during the course of the three-week festival.
The Fields
of Lupine Tour Book serves as the admission ticket to performances,
and a discount coupon for dining and shopping throughout
the region.
