New Buffalo Harvest Fest

05/07/2026

To all our loyal supporters,

The New Buffalo Harvest Fest organizers wish to convey our deep appreciation to all the attendees, the generous volunteers, the local wineries and breweries, the musicians, artists and food truck owners, the sponsors & media partners who helped make this family-friendly, community event a local tradition since it’s inception back in 2006.

Our usual event date has been promised to another event company for the foreseeable future and so the Harvest Fest must go on hiatus.

We have, finally and after much deliberation, come to the very disappointing conclusion that we cannot produce the New Buffalo Harvest Fest this year under the current circumstances.

We look forward to a future time when the event will return!

Warmly,
Criterion and the local producing committee
