How to Experience Harvest Moon

Before the Crowds

Start your morning off by strolling through the farmers' market, which goes from 9 AM - 2 PM.

Grab a coffee or breakfast downtown as you make your way through the rest of the market. It's a great way to ease into the day and get an early look at the local vendors before it gets busy.

This way you won't miss out on the live music and dance performances happening throughout the festival.
