HARVEST FESTIVAL | SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3
Harvest Festival returns to Downtown Santa Cruz on Saturday, October 3 from 12PM-4PM. We'll be throwing up tents, 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 and the Santa Cruz Community Farmers' Markets .
