Harvest Party

Virginia’s Home-Grown Holiday

October 17, 2026

Harvest Party is a day for the Commonwealth to come together to toast the richness of our region with Harvest Party. People in the city, the country and on the shore, gather in restaurants, vineyards, private homes, open fields for a feast of Virginia-grown food and wine.

Today’s traditions have too many rules and no local color. We deserve a day to celebrate what makes us, us. Inventing a new tradition and evolving it as we go seems like a very "Virginia" thing to do.
