Stafford’s annual Fall Harvest and Wine Festival returns to downtown Manahawkin this weekend – noon to 5 p.m. each day, at two separate parks, Manahawkin Lake Park on Route 9 and Heritage Park on West Bay Avenue.

Harvest Fest is at Manahawkin Lake Park Saturday, with a Halloween parade, hayrides, scarecrow making, pumpkin patch, craft tables and live music by Josh Werner and the Acousticrats. The parade lines up at 11:30 a.m.
