What is Harvest Moon?

The Harvest Moon Festival celebrates the harvest season and local food production, while providing an opportunity to link those from rural and urban communities. The festival is a key to promoting the Harvest Moon Learning Centre, the generous spirit of the Town of Clearwater, the talents of local artists, tasty produce of local producers and the beauty of the Pembina Valley.

An important economic development activity, the Festival brings in over 2,000 patrons annually and revenue generated from the festival gives an important boost to Clearwater organizations and businesses.

Leave No Trace - Be Green!

We are committed to leaving no trace of our activities & clean up after ourselves. If we see garbage we help out & pick it up! We reduce our footprint on the planet by doing things like bringing a reusable mug, plate and car pooling.
