West Cape May will honor the lowly lima bean with a festival 9 a.m.-5 p.m. at Wilbraham Park.

Quirky Lima Bean Festival returns to Wilbraham Park

In what has become an annual tradition, West Cape May will celebrate its farming heritage with the Lima Bean Festival Saturday, Oct. 8 in Wilbraham Park.

From 9 a.m.-5 p.m. the park will be filled with vendors selling a selection of food, crafts and products that spring from the lowly legume.

Juried arts and crafts, local merchandise, food, clothing, antiques and collectibles will be for sale – as long as the wares are somehow related to the lima bean. No flea market merchandise is permitted.

The yearly event supports efforts by the West Cape May Shade Tree Commission to maintain Wilbraham Park.

Rain date is Oct. 9. For information call organizer Diane Flanegan at (609) 884-9325 or see This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
