Harvest Festival Returns This October

The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry is hosting its annual Harvest Festival on October 2. Free admission and $5 parking make for a great weekend event. Plus, it's packed with great events for the kids, including arm painting, Craft-a-Crop, crop map puzzle and even a magical experiment with color-changing berry pH paper. These events are free, and offered all day.

In addition to the family-friendly, farm based activities, there will also be familiar Farmers' Market vendors supplying sustenance to festival attendees. ACME Farms & Kitchen, Rogue Brewery and Hot Mama Salsa will all be present. Check out the complete list of vendors to get a better idea of the available eats.

Here are directions to Harvest Festival.
