The Falls Harvest Festival, a free-to-the public festival in its second year, will be held on a busy U.S. and Canadian holiday weekend—Columbus Day.
The inaugural event and the convenient location attracted 4,000 attendees in and nearly 40 vendors and exhibitors in October 2007.
A farmers market highlighted the harvest theme as well as the scarecrow creations on display. Live music and entertainment will take place throughout the day and evening on the Entertainment Stage in the heart of the festival grounds.
Harvest is the central theme and it will be woven into all activities which emphasize
hands-on, demonstration type opportunities. Crowd pleasing activities of last year's event will be back this year and, when possible, enhanced:
|
Grape Stomping Contests
Pie Eating Contests
Scarecrow Contest
Chainsaw Carving Artist Show
Straw Maze
Firetruck Rides
Antique Tractor Display |
Please join us this year! We are seeking more vendors in 2008, especially those who highlight the season with crafts, food and personal products, decorations, produce, flowers and other creations.
Montour Falls is a picturesque setting, located just off State Route 14—the byway to the Seneca Wine Trail—and 5 minutes from Watkins Glen State Park and Seneca Lake and within 25 minutes of Corning and Ithaca—home of Cornell University and Ithaca College.
Applications are attached and are due by Friday, September 5th.
Upon review by the festival committee, applicants will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis.
