    This year, Harvest Fall Festival visitors will once again be treated to the sound of horse hooves when our popular Horse Parade returns. One of the largest equestrian events of its kind in Eastern Ontario, the Quigley Highlanders will lead the procession. It gets underway at 1:00 pm. Rain or shine, the Harvest Fall Festival is a delightful experience for young and old alike. Please leave your dogs at home and no smoking on the museum grounds.

    Highlights include:

     

    • Harvest Sale tent with home baking, jams, jellies, preserves, fruit, vegetables, plants and more
    • Demonstrations of blacksmithing, spinning, butter making, apple pressing and other pioneer skills
    • Vintage farm machinery brought back to life
    • Local artisans explaining their crafts
    • Musical entertainment all day
    • Supervised children’s activities (crafts all day & relay games at 11am & 2:30pm)
    • Hot food, cold drinks and homemade pie
    • Star Inn bar serving beer from Lost Villages Brewery & Stonehouse Vineyard onsite.
    • Rooster Crowing Contest and judging. Please bring your prized rooster to the pavilion no later than noon on the day of the event. The judging is at 2:15. Roosters must come in a cage with food and water. Prizes courtesy of Alexandria Milling.
