The annual Lanark County Harvest Festival is set to return Sunday, Sept. 14, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Beckwith Park, offering a full day of fall fun for all ages.
The popular event celebrates the region’s farming heritage with a bustling farmers’ market featuring fresh produce, handmade crafts and artisanal goods. And Beckwith Reeve Richard Kidd says this year a neighbour is in the spotlight.
Visitors can meet local farmers from across the county’s eight municipalities and craftspeople while taking home a taste of Lanark County.
Kidd says its a great opportunity to get up close and personal with local producers.
Food lovers will find farm-to-table meals and sweet treats prepared by local chefs. Live music and cultural displays will keep crowds entertained throughout the day.
Kidd says its also a chance to thank local producers, especially after current circumstances have encouraged the buy local movement. But he says, it’s also about the public learning more about local operations.
Families can enjoy horse-drawn wagon rides, a petting zoo, and bouncy castles, making the festival a highlight of the season.
Organizers say the event is more than a celebration of harvest—it’s about bringing the community together.
