6 Family-Friendly Fall Harvest Festivals in Edmonton and Area

Harvest festivals are like a kick off to fall weather. Cozy sweater, soup served for dinner and cozy evenings around the fireplace where the house is soft lit with candles. I adore summer, but fall has a special place in my heart for the kick off to something fresh and cozy, hygge.
