Berkshire Botanical Garden presents the 2026 Harvest Festival

Celebrate fall at one of the Berkshires’ most beloved traditions! Every October, the Garden’s 24-acre grounds are transformed into a lively celebration of community, culture, the natural world, and the region’s agricultural heritage.
Families can enjoy a full slate of activities throughout the weekend, including pony rides, a haunted house, hay maze and hay jump, face painting, hayrides, a petting zoo, square dancing and more.
Music will fill the Garden on two stages, with performances by the Eagles Community Band, Brasskill, Lee Rogers, the Sunday Strummers, The Juckets, Twang Busters, Kayla Rae Music, The O-Tones and the Katherine Winston Band.
Nearly 90 vendors will offer an eclectic selection of regional food and beverages, handmade crafts, art and photography, jewelry, woodworking, farm products, plants and herbs, home décor, wellness goods and distinctive gifts.
The weekend’s educational programming will include gardening demonstrations with Chris Ferrero and Kevin Johnson, a smartphone photography demonstration with Thaddeus Kubis and an Herbal Tincture workshop with Nicole Webster Clark. Visitors can also browse the Garden’s plant sale and explore demonstrations and activities designed for gardeners of all experience levels.
