Hood River Valley Harvest Festival celebrates the bounty of the county and surrounding region. The Hood River Valley has been a premier fruit and vegetable producing region since the start of the 20th century. Today, the Harvest Festival has grown to a family-friendly, weekend-long celebration with hundreds of art, craft, food, and wine vendors, just for a start. There are games, contests, pumpkin carvings and, of course, an Entertainment and Education tent featuring local brews and wine.
