Non-profit and church food vendors are free of charge.

“(The year) 2022 celebrates the 30th anniversary of Halifax County Harvest Days, and we are planning a fantastic event that will highlight the diversity of our county and its history,” said Beth Burchell, Halifax County Extension director. “Stay tuned for an exciting schedule of entertainment and activities as our plans come together.”

The event will celebrate the world of agriculture, featuring farm animals, antique tractors, hay wagon rides, the agricultural museum, and educational exhibits, as well as entertainment throughout the day and local vendors selling homemade food and arts and crafts.
