The Harvest Festival will make its return to the Daviess County Lions Club Fairgrounds for its second year since moving from Reid’s Orchard and changing its name from the Apple Festival to the Harvest Festival.
Billy and Kathy Reid first hosted the Apple Festival at their orchard in 1986, building it into a popular fall event. As the couple began exploring new opportunities, they decided to pass the event on to the Daviess County Lions Club in 2023.
Now held at the fairgrounds, the festival will include vendors and indoor shelters for events regardless of the weather. This year’s event will include carnival rides, food booths, craft vendors, live music, a petting zoo, and more.
Organizers said the Harvest Festival will keep the spirit of the Apple Fest alive by continuing its community focus. Proceeds from the festival will benefit the Lions Club’s charitable causes, allowing the festival’s legacy of giving back to endure.
