The City of Richmond and West Fort Bend Management District will reinstate the famed Pecan Harvest Festival highlighting the rich history of Bagley Pecans on Sunday, November 20th to celebrate the harvesting season of the pecan and the stately trees that are ubiquitous to the area. A variety of vendors and activities will be provided from 1 to 6 pm on this fall afternoon!
Texas AgriLife Extension will provide educational workshops about pecans, locally and regionally, at Decker Park in Historical Downtown Richmond along Preston Road. Bring the kids to learn all about pecans and harvesting them! Decker Park houses several historical homes where attendees can find activities such as a Pecan Bake-Off and relevant children’s activities. With its famed gazebo, Wessendorff Park will provide a variety of music all day and activities across the sprawling, grassy knoll. Hay rides will also further the fall harvest experience as it transports Pecan Fest attendees throughout the area. Attendees will find vendors and food trucks, and beer will be for sale to adults at the Beer Garden.
This event is free to the public. As Decker Park & Wessendorff Park are located on Preston Street between 4th and 6th streets just over the railroad tracks from historical downtown, a variety of shopping from established merchants will be at attendees’ fingertips as well.
