Sacramento Harvest Festival® Returns

Fall Shopping Event Returns to Cal Expo November 19-21 with a Myriad of Artists and Makers

November 10, 2021

For many independent artists and makers, 2020 was a devastating blow because of all the COVID-19 related event closures.

 Now there is a feeling of hope amongst many of these small businesses because they are able to once again participate in events like the Sacramento Harvest Festival, happening November 19-21 at Cal Expo.

 “In 2020, we had a temporary rebrand to ‘Harvest Market’ which allowed us to operate under the same regulations that Farmer’s Markets did,” said Nancy Glenn, owner of the Harvest Festival Original Art and Craft Show. “We did unfortunately lose some exhibitors who couldn’t weather the storm, but we are starting to see that many of our exhibitors are finally beginning to feel optimistic about the future.”  

 The Harvest Festival is the West Coast's premier art and craft show, and hundreds of artists depend on the annual show as a platform to sell their products.

 “Our show was built on supporting the independent artist and small businessperson, so we are extremely glad to be able to continue that mission,” said Glenn.

 The festival says it is following all health guidelines set forth by the county and the state.

 The Sacramento Harvest Festival boasts thousands of American handmade crafts, including original art, jewelry, pottery, clothing, specialty foods, home décor and much more. Throughout the weekend there will also be strolling entertainment, delicious festival foods, artist demonstrations and more.
