Celebrate the fall season and explore the beautiful Sammamish Valley, located in East King County, during the Fall Harvest Celebration, Sept. 26-28.

Visit farms, galleries and businesses where you can enjoy food and farm demonstrations; take a class; listen to music; visit with local artisans; and, hop on a hayride. From pumpkin patches to freshly pressed apple cider to a peaceful walk in the field, you’ll find a variety of activities that celebrate the bounty of the fall harvest.

The participating farms and businesses include 21 Acres, Apple Farm Village, BarnPlace Farm, Dr. Maze’s Farm, Gathering Fabric Quilt Shop, Minea Farm and Molbak’s. Each location has its own schedule of events during the Valley celebration. All ages are welcome and some activities are free. Visit www.SammamishValley.org for more information and links to each farm and business.

The Sammamish Valley is an oasis of farmland surrounded by Woodinville Wine Country, the parks and technology of Redmond, and the waterfront city of Kirkland. A delightful place to visit year-round, farmers and business owners in the Valley are working together to create several extra-special weekends to highlight the bounty and the agricultural and artistic diversity of the irreplaceable setting.

The annual Sammamish Valley Fall Harvest Celebration follows the Celebration of Lavender and the Arts held in July, and the Mother’s Day Celebration held this spring.
