BETHEL WOODS – Bethel Woods Center for the Arts—a non-profit performance venue, museum and site of the 1969 Woodstock festival—today announced the return of Harvest Festival. 

The annual farmers market runs for six consecutive Sundays starting September 1 and running through October 6. Harvest Festival celebrates the wonderful offerings and essence that Sullivan County has to offer. After 26 years in operation, the iconic festival has proven to be a mainstay event and source of strength for the community.

“Harvest Festival reflects the spirit of togetherness and creativity, which have always been central to Bethel Woods’ mission,” said Eric Frances, CEO, Bethel Woods Center for the Arts. “This annual event is another way in which Bethel Woods supports the community, local farmers, and artisans, while providing a dynamic space for music and culture.”

This fall’s festival will include live music on the Harvest Stage; fresh produce and wares from over 100 farmers, crafters, and makers; a corn maze; pet adoptions; a scavenger hunt; and the return of hay wagon rides each week. 

The festival runs from 11 am - 4 pm on Sundays, withweekly special attractions and activations.
