The Harvest Festival Original Art & Craft Show Returns To The Del Mar Fairgrounds

The Harvest Festival celebration, which unites hundreds of artists and crafters from throughout the nation, is returning to the Del Mar Fairgrounds this October.

The event will feature an epic array of jewelry, ceramics, seasonal décor, kids clothing, photography, oils, sculptures, woodworks, Halloween accessories, blown glass, ornaments, and other original works – giving shoppers an adventure of discovery.

The Festival offers a safe, full day of fun for all ages with handmade creations from hundreds of exhibitors, specialty foods, strolling performers, a Kidszone, demonstrations, contests, and more. The event also gives back by supporting local charities in the community.

“After a year hiatus we’re anxious to reignite our ‘handmade’ tradition that brings together friends and families. We’ve been working non-stop to deliver the unique experience our patrons have come to expect and love, with something for everyone; where they can visit with the artists, and in many cases, get items personalized for gifting.”

General admission is $9. Seniors (62+) and military are $7. Youths (13-17) are $4, and it’s FREE to kids 12 and under. Bring non-perishables for donation to the local food bank to help others and receive $2 off. Hours are Friday and Saturday 10AM to 5PM and Sunday 10AM to 4PM.

See you there….and stay healthy, San Diego!
