Friday and Sunday, July 4 and 6, all day—WOODSTOCK— This Independence Day weekend, Woodstock will offer two days of classic, family-friendly festivities, with special events taking place on Friday, July 4, and Sunday, July 6.
Fourth on the Farm
Kicking off the holiday weekend, Billings Farm & Museum will host “4th on the Farm” on Friday, July 4, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visitors can enjoy a full day of old-fashioned entertainment, including horse-drawn wagon rides (11 a.m.–3 p.m.), ice cream making, and spelling bees for both kids and adults—with a historical twist.
At 2 p.m., the field transforms into a vintage baseball diamond for a lively game played using 1860s rules, complete with straw-stuffed bases and barehanded catches. Attendees are welcome to join in the game or cheer from the sidelines. The Rose Hip Jam Band will provide live music from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and Vermont-made treats will be available at the Farmhouse Scoop Shop.
