Harvest Festival Downtown Santa Cruz

Harvest Festival Downtown Santa Cruz
Saturday, October 4, 12-4pm
Harvest Festival returns to Downtown Santa Cruz. We’ll be throwing up tents, flipping pupusas, popping popcorn, stacking hay bales and setting up a slew of silly, throw-back games and fun activities for all of you. Think of a sweet nook version of county fair meets a school fair but, filled with local farms and businesses.
This vibrant community event is produced in partnership with The Downtown Association of Santa Cruz the Santa Cruz Community Farmers’ Markets.
The Harvest Festival is a celebration of community, a chance to come together and appreciate the simple joys of the season. Bring your family and friends to enjoy live music, delicious food, fun games, and enjoy a vibrant day in Downtown Santa Cruz.
