Crop gathering feast
A harvest celebration is a festive gathering marking the end of the growing season and the successful bringing in of crops.

Modern harvest celebrations range from religious observances like Thanksgiving to community festivals featuring local produce, often with feasting, music, and seasonal decorations like gourds and corn stalks.
