Piedmont readies Harvest Festival and other fall events; organizers seek volunteers
Summary
Shelley outlined Harvest Festival plans and other fall programming; commissioners and community members were encouraged to volunteer for setup and special roles, and Chris announced the final Oktoberfest on Oct. 5.
Shelley previewed the 26th annual Harvest Festival (including an edibles contest, art show, Scarecrow Alley fundraiser, multiple food trucks and stage music), noting street closures around the park and advising attendees to walk or plan parking carefully. The commission also highlighted Families Night, a movie night at the park and a pickleball fundraiser hosted by the wellness center.
“Saturday and Sunday streets are gonna be closed around the park, and I would not try to drive up that street or probably park in that area,” Shelley said, urging residents to walk if they can. Commissioners solicited volunteers for festival setup and related activities; staff said some events are already sold out and others have wait lists.
Commissioner Chris announced what he said will be the final Oktoberfest in Piedmont on Oct. 5, calling it the largest fundraiser for Piedmont High sports and encouraging residents to attend. The commission also reminded members about the Piedmont Adult Recreation Expo on Nov. 17 with volunteers requested for setup and staffing.
