Harvest Homecoming Festival

Harvest Homecoming in New Albany opens with the Heart of Harvest parade, with over-the-top floats, vintage cars, and loud bands leaving New Albany High School, marching down Vincennes Street, turning right on Spring Street, and ending on Bank Street. Booth days follow later in the week, with food and activities split toward kids, families, and adults, plus sports stops such as cornhole, pumpkin chunkin, pickleball, and bike rides. A kids' day and contests sit on the family side of the schedule.

Our take: Stake a spot along Vincennes, Spring, or Bank Street for the parade, then use booth days if you want the food and contests.
