Since its inception in 2011, The Pound Ridge Harvest Festival has been the main fundraising event organized by The Pound Ridge Partnership, an independent, non-partisan, 501(c)(3) organization. Led by an energetic group of volunteers, Harvest Festival has proudly hosted globally-renowned artists such as Gin Blossoms, The Spin Doctors, Soul Asylum, Toad The Wet Sprocket, Everclear, Rusted Root, Cracker, The Smithereens, and Edwin McCain, while also providing a major platform for rising musical talent from the local area.

Beginning as a small town fundraiser, the event drew hundreds of people to the single-street business district in its initial years. Continuing what has become a beloved Pound Ridge tradition, the festival now draws thousands of people together to enjoy award-winning music, Oktoberfest-style food, beverage gardens, and games & activities for the entire family. With attendance estimated at 7,000 people, the event is now held at the Town Park and hosts attendees from across the region.
