Hawthorne Valley Harvest Festival

Mark your calendars for our annual Harvest Festival on Saturday, October 11 from 11am-3pm!

For over 25 years, Hawthorne Valley has offered this free festival to celebrate agriculture, ecology, education, art, and community! It has become an autumn tradition for thousands. This year’s festival will include many of our beloved activities, including a marionette performance by The Magical Puppet Tree, children’s craft activities, horse rides, cider pressing, hay rides, a vendor market, and more!

Also, enjoy delicious, organic, local foods, live music, and a variety of local vendors and artisans!

Stay tuned for more details (including how to sign up for this year’s Pie Baking Contest!).
