ABOUT THE HARVEST FESTIVAL®  ORIGINAL ART AND CRAFT SHOW:
The Harvest Festivals began 40 years ago in San Francisco as a destination for artists and craftspeople to gather and have a forum to sell their handmade products. Today, the show has grown to encompass ten shows in the state of California, Nevada and Arizona and still continues its tradition by only featuring arts and crafts made in the United States.  Each exhibitor is subject to a rigid jury process to be selected as a featured artisan, ensuring a rich diversity and high quality of all products sold. Attendees can  interact directly with the artists, watch crafting demonstrations, and can get many gifts personalized. The Harvest Festivals, owned and managed by Western Exhibitors, are the largest indoor arts and crafts show on the West Coast.
