Historic Zoar Village will hold its 46th annual Harvest Festival and Antiques Show on Saturday, July 27 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, July 28 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The festival is one of the nation’s premier antique shows, drawing nearly 60 dealers of early American antiques dating from the late 1700s to the early 1900s.

The Harvest Festival commemorates the end of what was the traditional wheat harvest in 19th-century Zoar. The festival is one of Ohio’s fastest growing antique shows in terms of attendance. Merchandise for sale ranges from furniture and art to textiles, paintings and more.

For the sixth year the festival will include an artisans tent housing decorative art from nearly 30 juried artisans including that of Will Moses, the great-grandson of Grandma Moses. For sale in the tent will be Moses’ children’s books and puzzles, redware, pottery, ceramics, stone carvings, period reproduction furniture, theorem paintings and other works of art.

Visitors also can enjoy homemade German food, beer and live musical performances throughout the weekend and shop for contemporary crafts throughout the village. Museum tours and demonstrations on 19th-century methods in weaving, spinning and blacksmithing also are part of the festival ticket.

Admission to the festival is $10 for age 13 and over and free for children 12 and under. The cost includes a wristband that provides access to the entire event including tents, demonstrations, museums, the antique car show on Sunday and other activities. Wristbands can be purchased at the Zoar Store & Visitors Center or at one of the outdoor ticket booths.
