I think in the UK it will be round mid October as usual. Again, as was mentioned, one has to pick one's country and which one to observe. No actual national celebrations in the UK, Canada, or USA. The link below may give a bit more insight.
After that, pick one's tradition in the spiritual-cosmic sense.

Answer 2

That would depend on which Harvest festival you want info on. Many Americans celebrate Thanksgiving, which is a very late harvest. There is also the day that the last crops are gathered in any given area. There is also the Autumn/fall Equinox when autumn is "officially" over and winter starts.

Pagans believe in several harvest festivals, including Lammas/Lughnasadh in August, Mabon in September and Samhain in October.

Most all cultures have their own harvest festival, so pick one
based on your area, religion or ancestors
ie. Hopi Indian Harvest festival or harvest festivals in Germany and start searching

Harvest is when you collect all the hay from the fields. Its a pretty huge thing if you live in the countryside. So a harvest festical is when you celebrate gathering the hay and the fuit. And I didn't get a word of what you said after the question!

Answer 5

The harvest festival generally is the feast held at the end of the growing season, after the crops have been gathered. It is a common festival among all cultures, having its roots in early agricultural societies.

Answer 6

I know it is practised in Anglican churches, a celebration and to give thanks to the Almighty for the crops and food available. May be similar to American Thanksgiving. The services thank for the crops and food and necessities of life being available... A modern variation is that people, especially youngsters, take gifts of food to chiurch, and these are then distributed to the needy and elderly.

Answer 7

Hopefully you are talking about The Cannabis Cup in the Netherlands - it is an annual one-day holiday to give thanks at the the end of the harvest season

Answer 8

the harvest festival is the time where young people used to go help out in the fields and pick potatoes and things.

dont see why we still "celebrate" it
