2024 Hands & Harvest Festival

Visit frequently until the event begins to stay updated on the full list of activities, addresses, and hours.

The Hands & Harvest Festival is a county-wide event full of family fun! A great starting place is at the Highland County Courthouse at 165 West Main Street, Monterey where our Arts & Crafts Vendors and an information table will be set up.

Enjoy a Harvest Trail with tours of farms and maple sugar camps for the tastes and sights of fall like freshly-cooked apple butter and freshly-pressed cider.

Shop unique, one-of-a-kind gifts from arts & crafts vendors, watch artist demonstrations, listen to live entertainment, climb over 100 steps up the Sounding Knob Fire Tower for breathtaking views, browse the popular annual sweater and used book sales, be amazed by rocketry, and take part in so much more for the entire family! We hope to see you in Virginia's least populous county!
