For three decades, New York Harvest Fest has stood as a cornerstone of our culture, activism, music, art, and community. What began as a gathering of passionate advocates has grown into one
of the most enduring celebrations of plant culture in New York, traveling to 14 unique locations while bringing together generations of pioneers, growers, patients, artists, musicians, educators, entrepreneurs, and freethinkers.
