Fall celebration meal

A harvest dinner is a celebratory meal marking the end of the agricultural harvest season, traditionally gathering family, friends, or community to share food from the year's crops.

The term applies both to informal family gatherings and to organized community or church events: The church is hosting its annual harvest dinner next Saturday.

In American usage, Thanksgiving often serves as the quintessential harvest dinner.
