Next weekend will be part of a four-day Halloween celebration, from Friday to Monday, and the biggest event of all will take place on Sunday, October 30 at The Junction – the return of the real harvest festival. In the first pandemic year, 2020, the West Seattle Junction Association assembled and sold Harvest Fest boxes so families can enjoy seasonal fun at home; last year, The Junction hosted an in-person sleight of hand. This year, all the fun of the festival is back – costume parade, trick or treat, activities, chili cooking contest, pie contest – and new entertainment has been added including a cornhole tournament, music on stage and square dancing. The Seattle West Farmer’s Market will still take place at its usual time at its usual location – southwestern California between Oregon and Alaska – and the street closures will extend to California between Alaska and Edmunds and Alaska between the 42nd and the 44th. Festival hours will be 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday (Farmers Market is 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. as usual). If you are interested in the cornhole tournament – prizes! – team registration is always open to the latest news; use this form. For everything else, just show up (all places in the pie-eating contest are taken, by the way). Even more details on Harvest Fest are in our most recent preview.
