Harvest Day

Longfellow's
The Harvest Moon

"It is the Harvest Moon! On gilded vanes
And roofs of villages, on woodland crests
And their aerial neighborhoods of nests
Deserted, on the curtained window-panes
Of rooms where children sleep, on country lanes
And harvest-fields, its mystic splendor rests!
Gone are the birds that were our summer guests,
With the last sheaves return the laboring wains!
All things are symbols: the external shows
Of Nature have their image in the mind,
As flowers and fruits and falling of the leaves;
The song-birds leave us at the summer's close,
Only the empty nests are left behind,
And pipings of the quail among the sheave."

Harvest Moon Celebration

Harvest Moon Dates

Each fall brings a season of discovery in Downtown Farmington - the cooler temperatures, longer shadows, wisps of woodsmoke and the Harvest Moon rising. Find yourself in our small town celebrating Michigan's most glorious season during the Harvest Moon Celebration. Plan your weekend with friends or come and make new ones. Join us outdoors at the Sundquist Pavilion in Riley Park as we say farewell to summer and festively ring in autumn.

Sample harvest food pairings, sip crafted cider or artisan ales, explore fine wines and meads, relax by the fire, root for your homestate teams, come out for a pig roast or just enjoy the music. Enjoy life in a small town on a Michigan fall day.
