The 19th annual HarvestFest is located in the center of downtown Billings under Skypoint. HarvestFest is a grand community fall festival taking place the second weekend of October. This arts & craft vendor festival takes place after the finale of the summer’s Farmers’ Market. HarvestFest celebrates the season with a rich diversity of arts and crafts, mums, pumpkins, face painting, balloon twisting, baked goods, and the final offerings of farmers’ market produce. The event has something for all ages; experience the aromas of food-truck fare like steak sandwiches, cotton candy, and kettle corn, live entertainment performing under Skypoint.

This fall street festival draws people from all over the Northwest region into the streets and businesses of downtown.
In 2021, the festival organizers expanded the footprint of this festival to include N. 29th Street. This expansion both allows for more vendors to be part of the festival and incorporates the the downtown brick and mortars on N. 29th Street.
