Harvest Festivals Start September
1
One of the
greatest additions to fun in the early Fall months here in Sullivan County are
the Harvest Festivals at Bethel Woods.
It's difficult at
times to believe that his year marks the fifteenth anniversary of the
Harvest Festival, an annual event celebrating the bounty, talent, and beauty of
Sullivan County and surrounding areas. Over the years, the festival has grown
from a small farmer's market with a handful of vendors and a few guest
musicians, to a full festival featuring close to 100 vendors each week as part
of the farmer's market, craft village and festival food areas. The Festival
also presents artist demos, corn & hay mazes, pony rides, art and education
programs, "gathering of the scarecrows" and more.
A sense of community is
reflected throughout the Harvest Festival. The corn and hay mazes are operated
by volunteer organizations that are able to benefit from this fund raising
opportunity.
The Festival occurs
Sunday's and some Saturday's 11am - 4pm, September 1 through October 12, rain
or shine.
Admission
is FREE and Parking is $2.00 per car. A $2.00 per car parking fee has been
implemented to help offset costs to operate the Festival, and permits Bethel
Woods to continue to present this important community event quality

The
events scheduled this year includes Sunday September 1 the Rosehaven Alpaca Festival,
Sunday September the Sullivan County Heritage Faire, Sunday September 15 the
