About Gather Grove
Gather Grove is a celebration of everything the earth grows — and the people who come together to honor it. We map the festivals built around what comes from the ground: the cherry, garlic, strawberry and citrus harvests, the mushroom, pumpkin and lavender celebrations, the small-town community harvests near you — and the cultural feasts for crops beloved here from around the world, from ube to dragon fruit. Starting from the West Coast, growing outward.
How this started
Gather Grove was built because our friends, family, and many people we cross paths with often don't know where the next harvest event is — whether that's a nearby festival or a U-pick farm. U-picks especially: the information is scattered across multiple websites and buried enough that finding it becomes a chore. Most of the time, people simply never find out the cherry festival exists — and the season quietly passes.
The information is out there — scattered across farm websites, Facebook events, city tourism pages, and buried press releases — but finding it, let alone trusting it, takes real effort. That shouldn't be the case for something as joyful as harvest season.
Gather Grove exists to make it easier for everyone involved: the visitor who wants to know where to go and when, the farmer who needs people to show up while the harvest is actually ready, and the earth whose colorful and rich bounty deserves to be celebrated — not missed.
What you'll find
279 harvest festivals and 559 U-pick farms across California, Oregon and Washington — spanning the whole year. Browse festivals by date, filter by crop, region, or month, or jump to any harvest — each with its dates, a map, and one-tap calendar export. Or find a U-pick farm and see what's ripe to pick near you, by season.
About the dates
We verify festival dates against official sources and keep them current. Most listings have a confirmed 2026 date. A few recurring community events that haven't posted official dates yet show their reliable schedule date with a “verify with the organizer” note — so you always know what's confirmed and what to double-check. We don't list events we can't stand behind.
Know a festival we're missing?
We'd love to add it. Submit a festival and we'll review and map it. Local tips are how the calendar stays complete.
