Hundreds gathered to enjoy cold, rain & wind in the inaugural Harvest in the Harbor: Ashtabula Local Food Festival. Thank you for coming out, showing your support and being engaged. There were roughly 80 people would completed their “Stroll Down Bridge Street” cards – which means they received 10 stamps at different vendors, speaking events, cooking demonstrations, restaurants, Bridge Street merchants, food trucks or musical events! Not bad for a blistery cold day on Bridge Street. Thank you to all who showed up!

Sunday, October 8 in the Ashtabula Harbor. Come celebrate all things grown and produced in Ashtabula County! 10 – 4pm
