Buchanan Harvest Fest revives a beloved community tradition for a new generation—celebrating local businesses, seasonal fun, family entertainment, live music, the Farmers Market, and the signature Chili Walk held on Saturday, October 3rd.
Chili Participants will be lined down Front Street between Oak Street and Days Ave. (same as Sip!) and not in local businesses.

Participants may not tear down until the conclusion of the walk. Any participants that take down early will be excluded from participating the following year.
