Delight in a Bushell Full of Family Fun at Kirkland’s Harvest Festival

KIRKLAND, Wash. – The 5th annual Harvest Festival is coming up this Saturday, October 4, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Juanita Beach Park North (9703 Juanita Drive NE). Celebrate the arrival of fall with a beloved day full of family-friendly activities, food, and fun! 

“Harvest Festival is one of those special traditions that brings Kirkland together,” said Deputy Mayor Jay Arnold. “Whether you’re here for the food trucks, live music, or pumpkin bowling with the kids, it’s a chance to connect with neighbors and make lasting memories.”  

Festival highlights include the Rustic Bites Round Up of food trucks, live music, artisan food and craft vendors, photo booths, and apple cider pressing. You can also enjoy friendly competitions like pie eating, corn shucking, and even a pickleball tournament. The Kid’s Korral is back, featuring faux cow milking, ring toss, horseshoes, pumpkin bowling, crafts, pony rides, and a special visit from Gwendolyn the Cow. 

In the spirit of harvest, please show support by bringing a non-perishable food item to donate to those in need. Donations will be accepted in the food collection tent. 

This free community event is made possible by generous support from Amazon, Ziply Fiber, Humana, and Neal Smiles Orthodontics. 

Onsite parking is limited. Attendees are encouraged to walk, bike, or take transit. A complimentary bike valet will be available. Shuttle service will run every 15 minutes between the North Kirkland Community Center (12421 103rd Avenue NE) and the festival from 11 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
