Second Annual Harvest Mess & Music Fest Returns October 4 with Music, Messy Play, and Family Fun
The Harvest Mess & Music Fest is back for its second year on Saturday, October 4, from 12–4 p.m., bringing families together for an afternoon of live music, creative play, and seasonal fun. Following last year’s incredible turnout—which saw hundreds of toys collected for area toy drives—the festival is once again free to attend, with guests encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy donation to support local families in need.
This year’s festival will feature:
- Live Music & Entertainment: Headliner Ramblin’ Dan, high-energy performances from School of Rock, and a lively DJ Dance Party.
- 15 Messy Play Activities: Creative, hands-on stations where kids can dive into fun, sensory-rich experiences.
- Family Fun for All Ages: A pumpkin patch, bubble show, mini-golf, and even friendly goats to meet.
- Sensory-Friendly Hour: A welcoming, low-sensory environment from 12 p.m.–1 p.m. (pre-registration requested).
Families can also explore a variety of family-friendly vendors, making it the perfect autumn outing for the community.
The Harvest Mess & Music Fest is proudly sponsored by Macaroni KID, Rivertowns Music Group, School of Rock, and RMA of NY.
