Portland harvest festival celebrates shift in seasons

A bounty of fall produce, lots of music, food, and crafts await those who call in at this year’s Hood River Harvest Fest.

Attendees can shop for beautiful fall flowers, raw honey, apples, pears, and squashes all produced throughout the region, along with native plants and herbs. They will also be entertained by nine different music acts scheduled two hours apart over the course of the three-day event, and will have the opportunity to purchase food from a variety of trucks. Food selections include gyros, barbeque, garlic fries, and Thai dishes.

Poster printing services offer an efficient way to spread the word about this kind of event.

Vendors here sell only handcrafted or locally produced items, among which are cheeses, candles, jams, hats, clothing, jewelry, painting, and woodworking. Artisans and crafters alike undergo a juried acceptance process to ensure the Harvest Fest attendees have the best of the best through which to browse.
