Each fall, Hood River Valley hosts an old-fashioned harvest festival with local produce and food products, arts and crafts, wine- and beer-tastings: all the best our County has to offer.

You’ll enjoy:

  • Produce Row, where you’ll find for purchase Anjou pears, heirloom apples, pumpkins, berries, roasted nuts, and flowers
  • A smorgasbord of freshly prepared foods including homemade pies, artisan jams, fresh breads, smoked salmon, chocolate-covered nuts, and more
  • Watch a giant pumpkin carver transform an 800 lb pumpkin into an artful masterpiece!
  • Over 100 art vendors, including local Columbia Gorge glass, wood sculpture, ceramics, photography, fiber art, jewelry, unique beauty projects, and much more
  • Kids zone with pumpkin and face painting, a petting zoo, balloon twister, and bouncy houses
  • Food court with lots of local and traditional favorites
  • Columbia Gorge wines and craft beers
  • Horse-drawn carriage rides with beautiful Friesian horses
  • Plenty of live music in the entertainment tent
  • Free parking

The weekend festival is held in mid-October on the Hood River waterfront overlooking the Columbia River, where visitors can relax and watch windsurfers and kiteboarders play on the water.

Please, pets are not permitted into the event.
