The Mountain Phoenix Harvest Festival is hosted by our Family Council as the first community gathering of the school year. This joyous annual celebration occurs around the time of the harvest and Michaelmas. We celebrate the change of season in community. Our Harvest Festival activities are related to the Story of St. George and the Dragon – overcoming the dragon to revitalize our confidence through courage, strength and determination. Historically, Harvests Festivals typically feature feasting, both family and public, with foods that are drawn from crops that come to maturity around the time of the festival. Our event offers a shared feast including hot dishes, bread, pies & apple cider, as well as crafts and activities.
