Celebrate Hood River’s harvest season at this old-fashioned fall festival. You can load up on boxes of Hood River favorites, including fresh pears, apples, pumpkins, berries and flowers, and a wide variety of local foods, from pies and jams to smoked salmon and chocolate-covered cherries. Hood River Valley Harvest Fest is also a great place to get a jump-start on holiday shopping, thanks to numerous local artisans. Be sure to swing by the Full Sail beer tent for ridiculously tasty brews.

Your youngsters under 12 are free, and they’ll love the kids’ activity area, complete with bouncy houses, face painting, and other activities.
