HeritageFest

All aboard for Andover’s newest spring event – HeritageFest!
Join us as we step back in time to celebrate our city’s roots with themed food, old-time photos, kids’ activities, and an unforgettable trip into the past. Mark your calendars for Saturday, May 17, 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. at The Heritage (located off Yorktown Road and Kellogg).

Did you know that a train robbery took place in Andover back in 1898? In a dramatic turn of events, a depot agent ran to a nearby church for help - right in the middle of an ice cream social!

Andover’s history is full of fascinating stories, and we can’t wait to bring them to life at HeritageFest!

Just a few of the activities on Saturday, May 17, 2025:
- Ice cream social provided by Cuppa Yo
- Music by The Haymakers and Diamond W. Wranglers
- Themed food at Livingston's Cafe
- Old-time photos for the entire family by Miss Purdy
- Candy and merch shop with memorabilia to purchase
- Activities for families and children including sack racing, gold panning, and more
- More to be announced!

HeritageFest is free and open to the public, inspired by Andover’s historic train era.

The event is supported by the Convention and Visitor’s Bureau (CVB). One of the primary goals of the CVB to bring in tourism to Andover. The CVB is funded through hotel occupancy taxes/transient guest taxes.
