scott farm crepe night for lydia taft pratt library

Crepe Night at Scott Farm - July 2, 2025, 5:30-7:30pm

Crêpe Nights are seasonal monthly gatherings, held on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month, at Scott Farm from May through August. These are times to celebrate the harvest, good simple food, and community in a stunning setting – picnic style. Outdoor and indoor tables and chairs are provided as well as a sprawling grassy hillside ripe for picnic blankets, folding lawn chairs, and bare feet. Each month is co-hosted by a different local non-profit who benefits from the evening's proceeds.

  • Tickets are $20/adult, $10/child and include a savory supper crepe, a sweet desert crepe, and a side salad.
  • Music performed by Hazelnuts Duo!
  • Scenery brought to you by Beautiful Southern Vermont!
