harvest fairs
Crop celebration events
Harvest fairs are community celebrations marking the end of the growing season, traditionally held in autumn when crops have been gathered.
They feature agricultural displays, livestock competitions, produce judging, carnival rides, and local food: The county harvest fair awarded ribbons for the largest pumpkins.
Many evolved into annual state and county fairs that retain harvest themes even as agriculture has declined in daily life.
