Harvest Festival & Parade
September 26th and 28th, 2008
Arroyo Grande takes pride in the old-fashioned family fun that abounds at local festivals and the Harvest Festival is a prime example of this time-honored tradition. Held the last full weekend in September, the Harvest Festival serves as a tribute to agriculture, the area’s leading industry. Among the many attractions features is a parade, toe-tapping entertainment, agricultural exhibits, and an array of food, game, and arts and crafts booths. This festival is focuses on the local non-profit organizations that serve the community.
Since 1937, the people of Arroyo Grande have participated in this well-loved celebration. The Harvest Festival is a chance to look back at our history and past traditions.
Although not equal to the magnitude of the Strawberry Festival, the Harvest Festival is popular with local residents and visitors alike. Advance reservations are recommended.
