Magnalia Farmstead Harvest Festival
Magnalia Farmstead’s Annual Harvest Festival is a celebration of community, and the goodness of God in the glories of Autumn. It marks the traditional festivals of the season — including the Harvests of Fall, Reformation Day, and All Souls Day. We’ll have activities for young and old alike:
• hayrides with a cup of apple cider
• animal exhibits, including feeding opportunities with sheep, goats, chickens, cows, a donkey, turkey, ducks and more!
• game field for small goal soccer, sack races, wheelbarrow races, tug-of-war and other fun
• pickleball competition
• displays of seasonal harvests, including a pumpkin patch and pumpkin painting for the kids
• guided pony rides for children
• community garden and bee hive tours
• bounce house castles
• blacksmithing demonstrations
• wool/yarn knitting demonstration
• seasonal treats at Walden Cabin and Camp Paradiso
• first-ever archery competition by age
• farmer-themed photo booth
• magic shows
• riding mechanical bull
• face painting
• pasture footrace by age
• hay bale toss by age
• re-enactors, including Martin Luther
• Reformation history presentations
• big screen stage presentation, with short video reels and music
• hymn sing around the bonfire
• s’mores at the fire pits, and more!
Food and beverage options will include a complimentary seasonal soup and cider samples at The Crown & Pepper Garden Shoppe.
You can also purchase great food from The Reformation Feast Meat Tent or the Waffle Truck. Sweet treats can be ordered from The Local Farmers’ Autumn Dessert Tent, or from the ICPinky Ice Cream Truck.
Suggested donations for tickets are $5/person, $10/couple or $20/family to help offset some of the third party costs for the event. If this creates any pause for you, however, we have created a FREE option. We do not want the cost to deter anyone from coming, and a family has agreed to pay the cost of tickets for any who cannot afford it!
All net proceeds from ticket, food and beverage purchases will go to support the ministries of Magnalia, including our programming for the special needs and veterans community and those who come here for soul care and respite.
Tickets are being limited to 500 this year, and they will go fast! So please RSVP soon to help us plan for you and yours. : )
We’re excited to host you, and to celebrate together the importance of community, and the Magnalia Dei in the Autumn season: the glory of God revealed in the things that He has made!
