Celebrate the Season, Taste the Region
Harvest Festival is a reimagining of the Olympic Peninsula Apple and Cider Festival as it enters its tenth year in 2026. Taking place October 9–11, Harvest Festival is a region-wide celebration of fall Harvest on the Olympic Peninsula, designed to invite locals and visitors to slow down, explore, and experience the abundance of the land.
​
Rather than centering around a single tasting event, Harvest Festival is a flexible, community driven weekend made up of many experiences hosted across the Peninsula. From cideries and breweries to pumpkin patches, farms, and food producers, the festival highlights the people and places that make fall here special.
​
At its heart, Harvest Festival is a cornucopia of events and open houses across the Olympic Peninsula, celebrating the abundance of the land through food, drink, farms, and seasonal traditions.
