Family fun, live music, local vendors, costumes, food, and Octobeerfest come together Saturday, September 26
Fall is right around the corner, and NOCO Harvest Fest is ready to welcome the season with a full day of community, entertainment, and good old-fashioned fun.
Taking place Saturday, September 26, 2026, NOCO Harvest Fest is a family-friendly block party designed to bring people together and celebrate everything there is to love about this time of year. From carnival games and costumes to live music, local shopping, food, and cold drinks, the festival offers something for just about everyone.
Families can spend the day trying their luck at carnival games, cheering on contestants during the pie-eating contest, exploring the vintage flea-style marketplace, and checking out the variety of local vendors and makers. Costumes are encouraged, so kids and adults alike can get creative and join in the fun.
One of the highlights of the celebration will be the costume contest, giving festivalgoers another reason to break out their favorite spooky, silly, creative, or completely over-the-top fall looks. Whether you come dressed to compete or simply enjoy seeing what everyone else comes up with, costumes will add an extra dose of personality to the day.
Live Music and Local Flavor
No community celebration is complete without great music, and NOCO Harvest Fest will feature a live performance by Las Calakas. Festivalgoers can grab something to eat, find a spot to relax, and enjoy the music while spending time with friends and neighbors.
Food will also be a big part of the festivities. Visitors can come hungry and enjoy delicious options throughout the event while browsing local vendors and discovering new businesses, artists, makers, and community favorites.
Shopping local is part of what makes events like NOCO Harvest Fest special. The vintage flea-style marketplace and vendor area offer an opportunity to find something unique while supporting the people and small businesses that help make the community vibrant.
Raise a Glass at Octobeerfest
For the adults, NOCO Harvest Fest brings a little Oktoberfest spirit to the celebration with Octobeerfest featuring Mile High Brewing.
Grab a beer, gather your friends, and raise your glass with a cheerful “Prost!” while enjoying the atmosphere of the festival. Octobeerfest adds an adults-only element to the larger family celebration without taking away from the event’s welcoming, community-centered feel.
It’s the kind of festival where parents can bring the kids for carnival games and costumes, friends can meet up for music and a beer, shoppers can browse local vendors, and everyone can enjoy an afternoon together.
A Celebration for the Whole Community
At its heart, NOCO Harvest Fest is about more than filling a Saturday with activities. It’s about creating a place for people to gather.
Community events give neighbors a chance to reconnect, families an opportunity to make memories, and local businesses and makers a place to meet the people who support them. NOCO Harvest Fest brings all of those pieces together in one lively fall celebration.
You can come for an hour or make a day of it. Test your skills at the carnival games. Enter the pie-eating contest. Dress up for the costume contest. Browse the marketplace. Dance along with Las Calakas. Find something delicious to eat. Raise a glass at Octobeerfest. Or simply find a comfortable spot and enjoy being part of the community.
However you choose to celebrate, the goal is simple: have fun and enjoy the season together.
So grab the family, invite some friends, start planning those costumes, and mark Saturday, September 26 on the calendar.
