Harvest Festival Returns To San Mateo After 'Renewed' Interest

SAN MATEO, CA — The San Mateo Harvest Festival returns to the San Mateo County Event Center next month after being limited last year.

The event offers American handmade arts and crafts and supports independent artists and small businesses, according to a news release.

The festival canceled nearly all of its shows last year due to COVID-19, but interest has been renewed and guests are happy to return, according to shop owner Nancy Glenn.

“For a lot of them, our show was an annual tradition and something they would look forward to every holiday season,” Glenn said.

The festival takes place Nov. 12-14 in the Fiesta Hall at the San Mateo County Event Center. The hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets are $9 for adults, $7 for seniors and military members, $4 for youth and free for children under the age of 12.

Tickets are valid for reentry.
