I recently had a chance to interview Bear Bouwman, the owner of Twin Cities Harvest Festival.This year the exciting event is open weekends from October 4th – 26th, and MEA.
What makes the Harvest Festival such a great entertainment option for families?
The Harvest Festival is designed to bring people of all ages together in one place. With one admission wristband, families get unlimited access to a wide variety of activities—from the corn pits, straw bale maze, and petting zoo to inflatables, pedal tractors, live music, and more. Parents love that everything is included, and kids love being able to go back and enjoy their favorite attractions again and again. It’s an affordable and stress-free way to spend a full day making memories together.
How can options like the Harvest Festival be a fun family tradition?
Fall is a season that naturally brings people together, and the Harvest Festival captures that feeling. Many families return year after year because it becomes “their” tradition—whether it’s picking out pumpkins, taking annual photos, or seeing how many times the kids can go down the giant slide. It’s a chance to slow down from busy schedules and do something seasonal and special as a family. We have families that stop by to say "hi" who have been coming to our festival for 10+ years.
For families with older kids, what should they be on the lookout for at the Festival?
Older kids often gravitate toward the inflatables, corn pits, and giant slide—but the Festival offers much more. Our petting zoo is a standout, featuring exotic animals like kangaroos, emus, zebus, porcupines, and even a nilgai, which is always a hit with teens as well as younger kids. On top of that, families can enjoy unique food truck options far beyond everyday fair food, including authentic Mexican dishes, Amish donuts, Philly cheesesteaks, gyros, and Asian cuisine. Combined with live music, yard games, and the pumpkin patch, the Festival gives older kids the freedom to explore while ensuring there’s something memorable for every age.
