A much-loved celebration of food, culture and country life, the Harvey Harvest Festival returns from 6–8 March 2026, bringing three days of local flavour, live music and family-friendly fun to the heart of the Harvey region.
For over 25 years, the festival has been a highlight on the South West calendar, growing from a one-day gathering and blossoming into a vibrant multi-day program that showcases the region’s multicultural heritage and agricultural abundance, drawing locals and visitors together to celebrate what makes Harvey special.
Festivities kick off on Friday 6 March with a ticketed opening night at the Gibbs Pool Amphitheatre, where Australian favourite Casey Donovan takes the stage as part of her This Is Me national tour, a relaxed, open-air way to start the weekend.
On Saturday 7 March, food lovers can settle in for the Harvey Harvest Long Table Lunch at the historic Uduc Hall, just minutes from town. This sought-after event features a multi-course menu built around seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, thoughtfully paired with regional wines, beers and beverages. Running from 12.30pm to 4pm, it’s as much about community and sustainability as it is about good food.
The weekend culminates on Sunday 8 March with the iconic free Festival Day at Snell’s Park, running from 9am–4pm. It’s the perfect reason to gather the family and head south, with live music across main and kids’ stages, a bustling arts and crafts precinct, local food and drink, and the headline act: the Western Australian Grape Stomping Championships. Where else can you stomp grapes barefoot and call it a championship?
Families are well catered for with the Alcoa Kids Zone, packed with entertainment and activities for little ones. Across the weekend, don't miss satellite events including historical displays, workshops, art exhibitions and more, all adding extra layers to the festival experience.
