The festival, which was established in 2017, is set against the breathtaking backdrop of Silver Lake in Eglon.

Attendees can set their GPS to 3086 Seneca Trl Eglon, WV 26716, and be prepared to unwind and unplug upon arrival. The West Virginia Homegrown Harvest Festival is an excellent opportunity to celebrate and support the best of West Virginia while enjoying a festive weekend outdoors.
