For generations, the Harvest Festival has been a cherished tradition in the Berkshires. Originally conceived as a harvest-season family and community festival, it is one of the largest and longest running events of its kind in the country. The Festival is a celebration of community, showcasing local artisans, supporting local services, and promoting a wide array of superb Berkshire area products. Also of particular regional interest, this year’s Harvest Festival will feature a Farmers Market with the best Berkshire Grown foods. The Harvest Festival supports educational programs at the Garden.
Crafts galore
The Harvest Festival is the premier showcase for many local artisans and crafters, such as blacksmiths and spinners demonstrating their skills. The focus on the handcrafted features 70+ of the most gifted (and reasonably priced) artisans and crafters from Massachusetts and surrounding New England — jewelers, ceramicists, photographers, weavers and much more.

Fabulous Food
The Harvest Food Court, Botanical Bakery and Farmers Market offer up oodles of tasty distinctive food, such as grilled pizza, farmstead sausages and burgers, mini cupcakes and more.
