After an interesting and action-packed summer here in Washington, we’re all looking forward to the chill of fall in the air (assuming that means the smoke leaves the air). Celebrate autumn’s imminent arrival by checking out one of our annual harvest festivals. It’s hard to miss summer when you’re sipping fresh cider and picking out pumpkins.
1. Burlington Harvest Festival & Pumpkin Pitch
On September 30, the Burlington Chamber of Commerce will host the Burlington Harvest Festival. Designed to bring the community together, the event features games for people of all ages, including the Pumpkin Pitch, medieval type machines hurling pumpkins through the air. Best of all, it's all free.
2. Fall Harvest Festival at Beck's Harvest House, Colbert
The Fall Harvest Festival is the largest seasonal event at Beck's, and if you love all things autumn, you won't want to miss it. You'll find vendors, crafts, activities for kids, and world famous pumpkin donuts... and the best part is, it lasts all season long.
