Tomorrow. 🍂

The pumpkins are out. The vendors are getting ready. The w**e is chilling. The horses are ready to roll. And somewhere, we assume, the witches are practicing their moves. 🧙‍♀️

After all the sneak peeks, there’s really only one thing left to do:

Come experience The Harvest Festival at the Altamont Fairgrounds for yourself.

Spend the day tasting and shopping. Grab something good to eat. Catch some live music. Take a carriage ride. Meet the adoptable dogs. Brave the haunted attraction. And see what else you discover along the way.

The Harvest Festival at the Altamont Fairgrounds starts tomorrow.

Saturday, September 19 | 10 AM–6 PM

Who are you bringing with you? Tag them so they know tomorrow’s the day. 👇

09/18/2026

Just your average day at the Harvest Festival at the Altamont Fairgrounds … until the witches show up. 🧙‍♀️

The HelderWitches are returning to Altamont with their brooms, their moves and a little bit of magic.

Catch them performing throughout the Harvest Festival at the Altamont Fairgrounds as part of the live entertainment happening around the Fairgrounds.

Because apparently shopping, sipping, eating, carriage rides, cars and adoptable dogs weren't quite enough. We needed dancing witches, too. 😂

A little rain? We can work with that. ☔

We're keeping an eye on Sunday's forecast, but the good news is that most of the Harvest Festival at the Altamont Fairgrounds fun happens under cover.

🍷 W**e, spirits & hard c***r tastings
🛍️ More than 90% of our vendors
🎃 Kids activities

So grab the rain jacket, wear the shoes you don't mind getting a little muddy, and come spend Sunday with us at the Altamont Fairgrounds.

The Harvest Festival is rain or shine—and we're ready for a great weekend.

One important Sunday update: Due to the forecast, the Car Show has been canceled.

The rest of the Harvest Festival is rain or shine, and we're ready for a great weekend. 🍂☔

We'll share any additional weather-related updates here.

Have you checked in with your babysitter yet? 🍷

Your w**e babysitter, that is.

When you find a bottle (or two… or a few 👀) you want to take home from The Harvest Festival at the Altamont Fairgrounds, you don’t have to carry them around all day.

Leave your purchases with our W**e Babysitting crew and keep your hands free for the important things — more tasting, more shopping, and maybe something delicious to eat.

Then pick everything up before you head home.

Just one of those little things that makes spending the day at The Harvest Festival at the Altamont Fairgrounds even better. 🍂

Consider this your official reminder: come hungry. 😋

Because apparently walking around The Harvest Festival at the Altamont Fairgrounds sampling w**e, c***r and spirits isn't enough of an appetite strategy.

We've got plenty to eat, too — from festival favorites and sweet treats to the kind of lunch that requires both hands and absolutely no regrets.

Come for the tastings. Stay for lunch. Get a snack. Decide you need another snack. We support your journey. 😂

Consider this your Harvest Festival at the Altamont Fairgrounds soundtrack. 🎶🍂

Grab something to eat, find a spot under the trees and stick around for live music on the Main Stage all weekend.

🎸 Saturday: Albany Rock Pit Showcase Band
🎶 Sunday: Guilty Pleasure

It’s all part of your day at The Harvest Festival at the Altamont Fairgrounds — and included with admission.

Come for the tastings. Stay for the music. Wander off to shop. Come back with snacks. There really isn’t a wrong way to spend the afternoon.

You thought the tasting was just about the w**e? 🧀

Oh, we're going to need you to come hungry.

There is a LOT more to taste at The Harvest Festival at the Altamont Fairgrounds than what's being poured into a glass.

Wander through our vendors and you'll find cheeses, dips, spreads, sauces, honey and plenty of other delicious things to sample — and take home.

Because apparently the correct pairing for a glass of w**e is an entire shopping bag of cheese.

We're not making the rules. 🤷‍♀️

You might want to leave a little room in the car. 😉

There’s a lot to taste at the Harvest Festival at the Altamont Fairgrounds — but there’s plenty to discover, too.

Take some time to wander through our vendors and shop handmade jewelry, fall décor, gifts and one-of-a-kind finds from local makers and small businesses.

These are the kinds of things you don’t go looking for — you spot them across a booth and suddenly know exactly who they’re perfect for. (Even if that person happens to be you.)

And if you happen to cross a name or two off your holiday shopping list while you’re here? Even better. 🎁

Come hungry. Come thirsty. And maybe don’t promise anyone you’re “just looking.” 😏

And if you'd like to get a full list of vendors ahead of time we have that on our website!

How brave are you? 🎃👀

The Harvest Festival at the Altamont Fairgrounds has a spooky side, too.

Step inside our haunted attraction and pick your level of scare — there's a less-scary side for those who like their Halloween fun with fewer nightmares, and a scarier side for anyone feeling particularly brave.

And here's something families should know:

Kids 15 & under get FREE admission to The Harvest Festival at the Altamont Fairgrounds.

So while the grown-ups may come for the tastings, there's plenty happening around the Fairgrounds for everyone to explore.
