The Auburn Community Harvest Festival features live music, giant pumpkin & scarecrow contests, arts and crafts booths showcasing local artisans and a costume contest and parade for young and old alike. There are carnival games, food and vendor booths hosted by local nonprofits and Auburn’s own Sugar Plump Fairies are out in friendly force. The day promises to offer a day of wholesome activities that cater to the entire family. And it’s free to attend and free parking! Master Gardeners will have a single booth, and we will be selling our 2025 MG Gardening Guide and Calendar which features articles on California native and water-wise plants, growing edibles, information about the free services offered by Master Gardeners such as our Help Desk to answer gardening questions, gardening workshops, our new Demonstration Garden, and our Curious Gardener newsletter.
