Annual Harvest Faire set for weekend

The Sisters Area Chamber of Commerce will host the annual Sisters Harvest Faire, Saturday and Sunday, October 8-9, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days.

The fall celebration is headquartered on Main Avenue next to Fir Street Park. More than 150 juried artisan vendors will be present selling quality handcrafted items including pottery, metal art, photography, painting, jewelry, clothing, furniture, home décor, specialty foods and more.

The annual Harvest Faire boasts hands-on activities, educational opportunities, great food, and free music featuring the Moon Mountain Ramblers.

"The Sisters Harvest Faire is a great place to find all of those one-of-a-kind, handmade items that aren't available in stores, and it's the perfect reason to visit Sisters," said Jeri Buckmann, events director for the Sisters Area Chamber of Commerce. "Meander at your own pace through our charming downtown. Visit the shops. Enjoy delicious snacks or a meal. You're sure to find good music, great crafts, and amazing experiences. Come spend the weekend and experience all that Sisters is about."

Main Avenue from Larch to Elm streets will be closed starting at 6 a.m. Friday, October 7, and will re-open Sunday evening at 7 p.m. The Bank of the Cascades drive-through will be open until 5:30 p.m. on Friday, then will be a walk-up only until Sunday evening.

Spruce and Fir streets will be closed from the alleyway to Main Avenue, starting at 6 a.m. Friday.
