The Colonial Pennsylvania Plantation celebrates the Hop Harvest in August with the picking the hops going directly to the viewing of brewers producing beer from the freshly picked hops. In October, the Original Fresh Hop Ale Festival celebrates Yakima Valley’s hops, as well as supporting Yakima County based arts and science organizations.
