The 2021 Pecan Harvest Festival will be held in Historic Downtown Richmond on Sunday, November 21st, from 11 am to 6 pm.
This annual event highlights the rich history of pecans in Fort Bend County while simultaneously showcasing the unique features of Historic Downtown Richmond. The festival’s beloved Kidz Zone will be nestled in historic Decker Park, while live music entertains all day from Wessendorff Park’s Gazebo backing up to the trails surrounding the historic Morton Cemetery at the edge of Wessendorff Park. An old-fashioned hayride will expose riders to the Historic District of Richmond, where the festival footprint has expanded to include the Little Miss Pecan Contest at the Fort Bend Museum’s Moore Home, as well as an expanded Car and Bike Show. Festival features include Artisan Vendors, a Farmer’s Market, a Beer and Wine Garden, a Pecan Baking Contest and a Food Truck Park.
Texas A&M AgriLife Extension is hosting the Pecan Education portion of the Richmond Pecan Harvest Festival, including interactive agricultural exhibits and the Fort Bend County Pecan Show. Attendees will find 40+ varieties of award-winning pecans submitted by many of the established pecan growers of Fort Bend County. The pecan education portion of the festival is graciously supported by a partnership with the Texas Pecan Growers Association and Fort Bend County Farm Bureau, cooperatively investing in agricultural education.
The Pecan Harvest Festival is a family-friendly event, which uniquely introduces Richmond’s charm, including Historic Downtown merchants as experienced by the more than 5,000 festival goers in attendance!
