Harvest Moon Festival: Cider, Brews, & Blues

The Mount Vernon Downtown Association launches the first-ever Harvest Moon Festival: Cider, Brews, & Blues on Saturday, September 19, 2015, from 4:30-9:00 pm. Envisioned as a community celebration of the fall harvest season, our new signature fall event will be staged on the Skagit Riverwalk Plaza, following the Farmers Market in downtown Mount Vernon. This year's theme will feature the bounty of our orchards and grain fields with local cideries and breweries sharing their wares, accompanied by award-winning blues bands. The MVDA is excited to showcase performances by the top female blues vocalist of the year for the Washington Blues Society, Polly O'Keary and the Rhythm Method, followed by Bobby Holland and the Breadline, and the Badd Dog Blues Society. Bring your dancing shoes and lawn chairs to the Harvest Moon Festival: Cider, Brews & Blues! Advance tickets are $20 per person and can be purchased at brownpapertickets.com. Same-day tickets will be $25 at the gate. Must be 21 or older to attend. The Harvest Moon Festival is sponsored by the Mount Vernon Downtown Association, the Rick Epting Foundation for the Arts, KAFE Radio, Puget Sound Energy, and Hair & Body Mechanix.
