Downtown Bowling Green's Harvest Festival reaches its 10th year on Saturday, Oct. 17, and organizers have added an hour to the day.
According to the event listing on Visit BGKY, the festival runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is presented by Houchens Food Group. The listing says organizers extended the day by one hour.
A longer arts and crafts footprint
The Downtown BGKY event page and the Visit BGKY listing describe an expanded arts and crafts vendor area, including a street fair down College Street from Fountain Square to the 3rd Street block of the Houchens Small Business Accelerator.
Where to go
Visit BGKY lists free admission to kids' activities, live music, craft vendors, local food trucks and the BG Trolley loop, spread across:
- SOKY Center
- The Fringe
- Circus Square
- Fountain Square
- the new Houchens Small Business Accelerator
Fall Fiesta at Fountain Square
Visit BGKY says Fountain Square will host a Fall Fiesta that leans into Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), with help from the Bowling Green Latino community. The listing also mentions inflatables and live entertainment.
For the kids
The listing points to family fun including hay forts, inflatables and midway games, plus pumpkin drops at Circus Square.
Getting around
The listing describes the BG Trolley as a hop-on, hop-off service, with the Lil Toot among the rides mentioned. Because the street fair runs along College Street, check ahead with Downtown BGKY or the City of Bowling Green for street closures and parking guidance; the pages reviewed did not list them. Entertainment lineups, vendor lists and trolley stops were also not available, so check the official pages closer to the date.
