THE TOP 10 HARVEST FESTIVALS AROUND THE WORLD

People depend on agriculture for food or trade all over the world. Some places rely entirely on their agricultural produce to provide for their families.
The most critical time in agriculture is the harvest, when produce is picked and stored for the first time.
The harvest is that time when farmers can celebrate their hard work before beginning another season.
That is why harvest festivals have become extremely popular in some communities.
WHAT IS A HARVEST FESTIVAL?
A harvest festival is an annual celebration that takes place around the time of the main harvest. Harvest festivals happen at different times around the world due to climate differences.
Harvest festivals usually involve eating traditional foods from the fresh harvest, celebrating the farmers’ freedom, not having to get up early in the morning, and going to the fields until the next season starts.
Some of those festivals are so extraordinary that they are considered something that you must see for yourself.

Here are the top 10 harvest festivals around the world:
1. CHANTHABURI FRUIT FAIR, CHANTHABURI, THAILAND
2. LAMMAS FESTIVAL, UNITED KINDOM
3. INCWALA, SWAZILAND
4. THANKSGIVING, PLIMOTH PLANTATION, MASSACHUSETTS
5. RICE HARVEST, BALI, INDONESIA

7. VENDIMIA, MENDOZA, ARGENTINA
8. OLIVAGANDO, MAGIONE, ITALY
9. MID-AUTOM FESTIVAL, CHINA
10. PONGAL, TAMIL, INDIA
Pongal is a multi-day Hindu harvest festival in South India, particularly in the Tamil community. It is observed typically in mid-January.
Dedicated to the Hindu sun god, the Surya, the festival marks the end of winter and the start of the sun’s journey northwards.
Festive celebrations include decorating cows and their horns, ritual bathing, and processions. The festival’s most significant practice is the preparation of the traditional “Pongal” dish. It utilizes freshly harvested rice and is prepared by boiling it in milk and raw cane sugar (jaggery)
