According to the Bloomfield Center Alliance, here’s what is in store for the 2026 festival:

• DJ and Live Entertainment – The main stage will be located at the intersection of Glenwood Avenue and Lackawanna Place, with two bands performing: local pop/rock band Boy Blue and R & B party band M Pack. Returning for the third year as the festival’s party emcee/deejay will be DJ Midnite spinning party music and engaging the crowd between sets.
• Kids’ Corner – Games and fun for the entire family will be available at the one end of Washington Street with bouncy houses, face painters and photo booths.
• Harvest Fest Beer Garden – Guests 21 years and older can enjoy a variety of craft beers and select seltzers.
• Local Vendors and Delicious Eats – Both Washington Street and Glenwood Avenue will be lined with close to 100 retail, food, and service vendors offering a wide array of items to buy, eat, and experience.
• Puppet Heap – Artists from this highly acclaimed arts studio will be working a table saying hello to visitors, selling official t-shirts, and displaying many of their puppet creations.

“Our ability to continue bringing this long-standing town tradition free to the community relies heavily on the generosity of our partners and sponsors,” BCA executive director Ollyn Lettman said.

“With their help and participation, we look forward to another great event here in Bloomfield Center,” Lettman added.
