The grape harvest is coming to an end in most of the northern hemisphere so that means the harvest festivals are coming up! The Festa dell'Uva e del Vino Bardolino, Bardonlino Grape Festival, in Bardolino, Italy runs from October 2-6.
There are concerts and fireworks, wine tastings and food stalls where you can try the local meat and rice specialities. Above all, the joys of Lake Garda are before you since it all takes place outside. Upwards of 4000 people attend every year.


Buttery green avocados have their own festival in Carpinteria, California, that is now in its 22 year. The California Avocado Festival offers three days of food, music and family fun.

The folks along the Jersey shore in Beach Haven, New Jersey, invite you to the annual Chowderfest Weekend. There will be live music, entertainment and clams galore!

The wineries of the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, Canada celebrate the advent of each season. The Fall Wine Festival starts today and runs for 10 days.
This is the only wine festival in North America that takes place during the heart of grape harvest.
During this festival, experience vineyard tours, lunches, dinners, events and the fall wine harvest - there is no better way to visit Okanagan wine country. For ten days in early October enjoy over 165 events throughout the valley which are focused on wine, food, education and the arts in one of North America's most spectacular settings - the Okanagan Valley.
And a few more....
