Have you heard? Hastings Park is being transformed into Harvestland – Canada’s largest harvest festival – from October 10 – 20, 2019. It’s family-friendly. It’s immersive. Harvestland promises an enchanting all-ages celebration of community, nature, agriculture, exploration and imagination, featuring rides, attractions, food, live entertainers and more.
(There is also the non-family-friendly, 19+ Oktoberfest oompah-madness that is Harvest Haus. Definitely going to need to find a babysitter because Harvest Haus screams DATE NIGHT.)
Harvestland is divided into four separate family-friendly “lands,” each with its own distinct autumnal atmosphere. Fully immersive, with indoor and outdoor activities, complete with roving characters and performers, Harvestland promises wonder and excitement for guests and families of all ages.
