Hops & Harvest is an autumn festival at Kelso Conservation Area that features breweries, food vendors, and artisans while celebrating the great outdoors. Inspired by the changing fall colours of the escarpment, the patchwork of farm fields and the abundance of fresh produce appearing in farmers markets, Hops & Harvest is a unique opportunity to hike the trails, take a chairlift ride, admire the scenery, and then enjoy craft brews and seasonal eats. The festival will also include the Harvest Ride—a fun, beginner-friendly bike ride through the trails with brewery swag for participants! For craft beer and food connoisseurs in search of fall flavours and outdoor enthusiasts looking to taste something different, Hops & Harvest is about bringing people together and creating opportunities to celebrate the natural and cultural heritage of the Niagara Escarpment.
