ABOUT THE HARVEST FESTIVAL & ENERGY FAIR

The 17th annual Harvest Festival is a project of the Lake Superior Sustainable Farming
Association of Minnesota, and was founded as an educational outreach program aimed to
showcase the local sustainable agriculture production of food throughout the Lake Superior
coastal region of northeastern Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin. The goal of the event is
to help promote sustainable local food production as a key component of a healthier economy,
environment and community in the Lake Superior region.  

In 2004 the Lake Superior Sustainable Farming Association partnered with the Lake Superior
Energy Association to present an Energy Fair along with the Harvest Festival. The Energy Fair
aims to provide the community with credible, innovative and effective solutions to our
communities energy challenges by showcasing local energy conservation resources and
education.

Today the Harvest Festival and Energy Fair has grown into a well attended event providing
education, training and outreach in a greater effort to develop sustainable communities and
economies in our coastal area. The 1-day outdoor event attracts attendance of over 8,000
people of all ages from throughout the greater Twin Ports region.
