Celebrate Fall at Hood River Valley Harvest Fest, the Columbia River Gorge’s Biggest Harvest Celebration
More than 120 farmers, artisan food producers, wineries, cideries and artists will gather along the Columbia River from October 11-13 to celebrate the region’s bounty.

With booths overflowing with Hood River Valley specialties ranging from apples to wine, the 37th annual Hood River Valley Harvest Fest is the place to be for all things autumn in the Hood River Valley. Presented by Pacific Power and produced by the Hood River County Chamber of Commerce, this old-fashioned fall festival brings together more than 120 vendors offering local produce and food products, plus original local arts and crafts from the Gorge Artists collective and others.

Fun live events include a giant pumpkin carving exhibition, local music and fruit pie-eating contests that are open to festival goers ages 15 and up on Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. Youngsters will love the kids’ activity area, which includes a rock wall, bouncy houses, face painting and other activities.
