Are you feeling those hints of fall in the air? Montana’s transition from summer to autumn seems to be a fast one, so it’s time to put away the shorts and break out the sweaters. And if you live in the Billings area, it’s also time to save the date for downtown Billings’ annual fall festival, HarvestFest. Now in its 18th year, this event will leave you ready for changing leaves and apple cider.

Montana’s annual HarvestFest is hosted by the Downtown Billings Alliance, and as you can imagine, it’s held in downtown Billings under Skypoint at 2nd Ave. and Broadway.

Downtown Billings / Facebook The festival is sponsored by Montana Brewing Company, and it’s always a popular event.

HarvestFest always takes place the second weekend of October as a way to bid farewell to summer’s Farmers Market.

Downtown Billings / Facebook The final Farmers Market always has plenty of seasonal produce to choose from.

The 2021 Downtown Billings HarvestFest will take place on October 9th from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
