Harvest Festival Begins in Long Beach this Weekend

The Harvest Festival Original Art and Craft Show®, the largest indoor arts and crafts show on the West Coast, returns to the Long Beach Convention Center October 2-4, 2009 with unique products, eclectic entertainers and a full day of fun.

For over 37 years, the Harvest Festival’s unique shopping and entertainment atmosphere has enamored shoppers. The show offers thousands of distinctive, handmade items, including jewelry, photographs, sculptures, pottery, accessories, clothing, specialty foods and more. The products offered are the highest quality, as each exhibitor is subject to a rigid jury process to be selected as a featured artisan.

The Long Beach Harvest Festival has once again partnered with the Los Angeles affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, in honor of October being Breast Cancer Awareness month. The show will provide Susan G. Komen for the Cure® with half the proceeds collected from shopping bag sales and all the proceeds from the parcel check. To recognize the growing demand that food banks around the country are facing, the Long Beach Harvest Festival has also joined forces with the Good Provider Food Bank of Southern California and will hand out $2 off admission coupon to anyone who brings a non-perishable food donation to the show.

Besides offering products that you can’t find anywhere else, the Harvest Festival is also known for providing a very family-friendly environment and offers a number of entertainment acts that thrill audiences of all ages. Whether it is high energy dance numbers, a strolling Elvis on stilts, or spectacular puppeteers, customers can always count on an entertaining and fun shopping experience at the Long Beach Harvest Festival.
