The Freedom Harvest Celebration is a free, all-ages, family-friendly event highlighting the rich history and significance of the From Slavery to Freedom Garden. Based at the FEC, the garden showcases plants and vegetables that freedom seekers used for nourishment and medicine on their perilous journey north to freedom. September is a particularly poignant time to hold this event, as it marks International Underground Railroad Month, commemorating the escapes of iconic figures such as Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman.
Join us for an exclusive Garden Tour and Tasting at noon with Chef Tia of Mana Meals Catering at 11:30 A.M.! Seats are limited. Register here.
From 1:00 to 4:00 PM, attendees can immerse themselves in engaging outdoor and nature-based activities. The event will feature live musical performances from talented local musicians, offering a soulful soundtrack to the day’s festivities. Culinary delights will be available for purchase from local food and beverage vendors.
Families can enjoy various interactive activities, including garden tours and history hikes that weave tales of the past, face painting, and lawn games. The event will also host several community organizations, offering table activities and crafts to enrich the experience.
No registration is required for the main event.
