2011 Harvest Festival Tour September 9, 2011

The Harvest Festival® will take place in 9 cities throughout California this fall, including Las Vegas, Pleasanton, Long Beach, Ventura, Del Mar, San Mateo, Sacramento, San Jose, and Pomona.

The festival kicks off September 9-11 in Las Vegas, and will feature the Original Art and Craft Shows unique to the Harvest Festival®. These shows are the largest indoor arts and crafts shows on the West Coast, and will feature over 24,000 handmade and personalized gifts. What makes these crafts shows particularly special is that each vendor is selling a product that they made themselves, so they have a particular connection to each piece of merchandise. Attendees can directly interact with the artisans and ask questions, as well as watch live crafting demonstrations and sample from home made recipes of toffee, olive oil, soups, jams, fudge, and more. Artisans are subject to a meticulous jury process to be selected as an exhibitor, so shoppers can be sure that all products are of the highest quality.

In addition to the wide array of shopping possibilities, there will also be exciting live music and strolling performers to entertain you. Whether it is high energy dance numbers, mimes, Zydeco fiddlers, Johnny Cash rock revival musicians, puppeteers, or seasonal holiday singers, attendees can be sure to hear something they like.

Aside from being a great way to spend your weekend, the Harvest Festival® is beneficial to the community. The show partners with non-profit organizations in order to give back to each city in which the events take place. For every show, the Harvest Festival® chooses an official charity that will receive a direct donation, half of the proceeds from the shopping bag sales, and all the proceeds from the bag and parcel check, as well as a free space to conduct community outreach. The show will also be partnering with local food banks and charitable organizations to assist them in collecting food and donations for those in need.

We encourage you to come out this fall to one of our many locations listed below for a weekend full of distinctive shopping experiences and some good old festival fun.
