For 55 years, the Talent Harvest Festival has been the heart of our community's fall tradition. What started in 1971 as a simple celebration of our agricultural heritage has blossomed into a premier Jackson County community gathering, bringing together thousands of neighbors, friends, and visitors to celebrate the bounty of our beautiful Rogue Valley.

After a challenging two-year pause due to the Almeda Wildfire and pandemic, our community's overwhelming enthusiasm for the festival's 2022 return proved just how much this event means to all of us. With 6,000 people flooding downtown Talent that year, we knew we were back stronger than ever!

This year promises to be our biggest and best yet, with over 8,000 expected visitors from across Southern Oregon and Northern California. Come experience

• Over 100 local vendors showcasing everything from fresh harvest produce to handcrafted artisan goods.

• The 2nd annual ‘Wheely’ Fun Parade. 

• The Talent Harvest Festival 10K, 5K & 1 mile race produced by Southern Oregon Runners.

• Live music filling multiple stages.

• Multiple beer gardens at local restaurants.

• Cider pressing.

• Loads of family activities provided by 30+ local organizations.

Best of all? Admission is completely FREE, ensuring everyone can join in the celebration of our resilient community and rich agricultural traditions.

Come hungry, come curious, and come ready to fall in love with Talent all over again!

This is the valley's premier craft beer event held in beautiful Grants Pass on Saturday, October 10th. The Chamber of Commerce places breweries inside downtown businesses. Participants stroll from location to location sampling amazing craft brews and delicious food!

Each participant will receive a commemorative event pint glass, an insulated re-usable tote for shopping, an event map and (1) tasting per location. We will have at least 20 participating locations.  There will be (4) FREE trolley stops along the event route for ease of reaching the further locations.

Tickets can be purchased at the Grants Pass & Josephine County Chamber of Commerce located at 1995 NW Vine St or online. 

Come celebrate growing season with a self-guided tour of the Applegate Valley Wine Country. Fall is the perfect time to visit our 16 tasting rooms. The winegrapes have been picked, pressed, and barreled, and the winemakers have time to chat.

Pick your starting location, and let yourself be lured from one winery to the next. Each will offer an appetizer and wine for tasting. You’ll even get to meet some of the latest releases! Uncorked is a great opportunity to stock up on wine for upcoming gifts, or parties.

Tickets are $59 and include a commemorative Wine Trail wine glass.

Bonus: Designated drivers don’t need to purchase a ticket and may sample the food.
