Callaway Gardens Harvest Moon Festival October 6th – 9th

I’m sooooo sad that we won’t be making it to the annual Harvest Moon Festival at Callaway Gardens this year, but it just isn’t in our budget.  Just because our family is going to miss out on the awesome bands, world-class chefs, farm to table foods, college football, and amazing family entertainment doesn’t mean you have to!

The four-day festival is a celebration of the harvest and of man and nature’s fruitful coexistence, combining farm-to-table foods, eco-centric vendors, cooking and gardening demonstrations, fun and educational activities for children, and of course, this unprecedented lineup of big-name bands. Four big screens in the Festival Tent will be featuring college football.  Yoga outdoors and the Harvest Moon Golf Tournament will add some fun.  For tickets, information and the complete list of confirmed acts, visit harvestmoonfest.com.

I got the list of bands today and wanted to share them with you:
