Good to know

💡 Bring at least 5 lbs of apples, pears, or quince from your yard to the cider press (sessions around 11:30am and early afternoon) and you'll take home a quart of community cider.

Now in its 55th year, the Talent Harvest Festival has anchored fall in the Rogue Valley since 1971. Downtown Talent hosts more than 100 vendors with farm stands, artisan goods, and crafts, plus live music on multiple stages, food trucks, family activities, 5K/10K runs, and the 'Wheely' Fun Parade of human-powered vehicles. The centerpiece is the community cider press: bring apples, pears, or quince from your own trees and walk away with fresh-pressed cider.
