COMES TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA THIS FALL

Showcasing a colossal collection of handmade creations, the Harvest Festival Original Art & Craft Show, comes to three key southland locations this fall with more than 24,000 original works from hundreds of exhibitors nationwide. As an all you can eat buffet for the senses, the artful celebration boasts live entertainment, strolling performers, a Kidzone, demonstrations, contests, and more.

Adding to the memories, many of the artists can personalize items for that special touch.

"We've been working for decades to create the quintessential shopping encounter that engages our patrons on every level," says Nancy Glenn, owner of the Harvest Festival. "It's all about sharing in an immersive experience you can't get anywhere else. Whether you're a DIY devotee or an avid art collector, our presentation brings together emerging artists whose passion sparks excitement and new trends."

Beyond the hundreds of artists and entertainment, each showcase collaborates with local non-profits to fundraise in support of community programs. General admission tickets are $9, while seniors (62+) and military are $7, youths ages 13-17 are $4, and kids 12 and under are free. Tickets are good for the entire weekend and return visits.
