The Harvest Festivals boast thousands of various gifts that are perfect for everyone, including jewelry, woodturnings, art and photography, specialty foods, clothing, décor and more.
Throughout the day there is live stage entertainment and strolling performers that wander the aisles and entertain attendees as they shop. Crowd favorites Tom Rigney and Flambeau will be headlining the main stage with their fiery fiddling and signature Cajun/Zydeco influenced songs. Also joining the stage entertainment are the Barbary Coast Cloggers, a high-energy American step-dance team.
This year's show will feature a special appearance by celebrity broadcaster Liam Mayclem, host of KCBS radio's "Foodie Chap" and CBS 5's "Eye on the Bay".
Artisans featured at the Harvest Festivals are vetted by the Harvest Festival management team to ensure products are all handmade and made in the United States. The juried process also ensures a rich mix and diversity of merchandise.

Plus, anyone who brings a non-perishable food donation to benefit the Second Harvest Food Bank will receive a $2 off admission discount.
The KidZone, a specialized area for kids to participate in hands on crafting activities, will be sponsored by Gingerbread-on-the-Go and will offer gingerbread cookie decorating.
Located near the KidZone will be a special Child ID feature, sponsored by New York Life. Parents can bring their child to be photographed, fingerprinted and get essential information stored on a CD to have if needed in an emergency.
