Harvest Festival

Crop celebration service

Harvest Festival names specific annual celebrations, particularly the traditional British church service held in autumn to give thanks for the harvest.

The capitalized form also appears as the proper name of various organized events: fairs, community gatherings, or themed celebrations at farms and venues.

The Harvest Festival at the fairgrounds runs all weekend. (Lowercase harvest festival is the general term for any such celebration.)
