🔗 More details
The Harvest Festival has been a tradition since 1986, one of the longest-running community events in Northwest Arkansas. What makes it special is the way it blends history, Ozark culture, and modern-day fun all in one place. The day begins with a hearty Ozark Country Breakfast and keeps rolling with food trucks serving local favorites.
The live pie auction always draws a crowd, with homemade creations sparking playful bidding wars that are as entertaining as they are tasty. Music carries throughout the grounds with bluegrass and roots sets providing the perfect backdrop for a stroll through the Arts and Eats Market
Around the grounds, sorghum pressing, blacksmithing, and weaving demonstrations showcase traditional skills, while kids stay busy in the activity zone with crafts, face painting, and hands-on fun. Visitors can tour historic landmarks, admire quilts and pottery, and even stand beneath the massive Bur Oak tree—a living “witness” to the Trail of Tears.
The Cane Hill Harvest Festival isn’t just another date on the calendar—it’s a piece of Northwest Arkansas history that still brings the community together year after year. Grab a friend, head down to Cane Hill, and make a Saturday out of it.
