What better way to share the warmth and hospitality of the season than with a dazzling array of artisan confections and culinary delights that spotlight the fruitful bounty of the West?  This year you can treat everyone on your list with gifts of delectable treats made right here in the San Gabriel Valley and throughout Southern California.  At left are just a few of the tantalizing treats we'll have on hand; pictured clockwise: Sierra Madre Candy Company red licorice, Robertson Roasted Almonds, Sierra Madre Candy Company Holiday Sours, Little Flower Candy Co.

Join us for a special holiday shopping event featuring locally-produced gourmet foods and an opportunity to meet the culinary talents behind them.  Sip festive spiced beverages from the no-host bar while tasting complimentary samples of featured products served by the candy makers and chefs who create these Pasadena favorites.  The delicious edibles will all be available for purchase through the Museum Store to stock your cupboards, prepare for guests, or delight your friends and family this holiday season. Your purchases that evening will directly support the chefs and local business owners as well as the ongoing educational initiatives of the Museum.

This special holiday “shoppertunity” tradition begins the moment you walk through the door. Almost as though you are entering Santa’s workshop, the magical shopping and entertainment experience gets you in the spirit of giving with more than 24,000 items to choose from, just before the holiday rush kicks in.

The festive Pomona event features more than 200 exhibitors, live entertainment and strolling holiday performers, a kids zone, specialty foods, and much more.

The Harvest Festival® Original Art & Craft Show promotes the largest indoor art & craft shows on the West Coast. Celebrating our 39th year in 2011, each Harvest Festival features hundreds of artisans exhibiting American handmade items including beautiful jewelry, clothing, specialty foods, photography, original art, hand-turned wood, music, ceramics and much more.

Enjoy three fun-packed days of shopping, stage and strolling entertainment, and festival food all for the price of one ticket. Remember to get your hand stamped to return as many times as you want without paying again.
