Harvest Festival at The Farmers’ Museum, Crailo, and the Crossings, LarkFEST, Nature Fest at Moreau, Fall Festival at Five Rivers, and More This Weekend

Man, oh, man, I hope that you’re as psyched up about the harvest and the splendors of nature in the fall as everybody else apparently is, because we are pretty much knee-deep in festivals here in the beautiful Capital District. You can get historic or Celtic or artsy or possibly drunk, depending on where your interests lie.

As always, you can click on the days for a more complete list, and you can comment with additions.
