About Quabbin Days

Quabbin Days is supported by a grant from the Mass Cultural Council Creative Experiences program

Quabbin Days is a vibrant new initiative from the Friends of the Quabbin, created to celebrate the rich heritage, natural beauty, and unique character of the 12 towns that make up the Quabbin Watershed.

Happening the weekend of October 9 – 12, 2026, at the height of New England’s spectacular foliage season, Quabbin Days aims to inspire communities and organizations across the region to host events that showcase what makes the Quabbin Region so special. From historical tours and outdoor adventures to local arts, food, and culture, it’s an opportunity to shine a spotlight on this remarkable area and to welcome thousands of visitors eager to experience its story, scenery, and spirit.
