The 2025 Harvest Festival will feature live music, food vendors, an apple pie baking contest, hands-on workshops, activities for kids, and more!

Free admission for: kids under 12; UCSC, Hartnell and Cabrillo College students with a student ID; Friends of the UCSC Farm & Garden members. $5 general admission.

Bicycling, car pooling, ride sharing, and public transportation are encouraged as parking is limited. If you drive to the event, please plan to park in UCSC Lot #104 (East Remote parking lot) and walk or take a complimentary shuttle to the farm. There will be directional signage to help you get to the correct parking lot and farm entrances.

Please do not harvest any of the crops on the farm during your visit. The crops grown on the farm feed students in need and support our research and programming.

We encourage you to bring a reusable water bottle to save plastic and stay hydrated! Pets are not allowed on the UC Santa Cruz campus (with the exception of service animals). The Harvest Festival is presented by the UC Santa Cruz Center for Agroecology, the Food Systems Working Group, Measure 43 and Life Lab.
