Chippokes State Park invites the community to the 13th Annual Harvest Festival, sponsored by the Friends of Chippokes (FOC).
Guests can celebrate this year’s fall harvest at one of the oldest continuously farmed properties in the nation. The festival will feature live music and family activities such as an antique tractor pull, pumpkin painting, corn cob dolls, corn hole, tractor-drawn hayrides, and an active sawmill site. A wide variety of local food and craft vendors will also be on site.
Visitors can see antique harvest equipment in operation and watch costumed interpreters cook on the hearth in the 1850s Brick Kitchen. Guided tours of the antebellum Jones-Stewart Mansion and self-guided tours of the Farm and Forestry Museum are included. For more information, see here.
The festival takes place rain or shine.
Those interested in being a craft vendor can contact the park office at 757-294-3625 or email kathryn.lane@dcr.virginia.gov.
🚗 $7 vehicle entry/parking fee applies.
