Autumn has come to our beautiful State of Washington. For most of us that means grey skies and drizzly weather. Not so on gorgeous San Juan Island, which enjoys – thanks to the Olympic Rain Shadow – an average of 247 sunny days per year.
Savor the San Juans!
Every October San Juan Island rejoices in Savor the San Juans, a month-long fall feast for all senses, a celebration of food, art and culture. Join us for the Harvest Festival and Fall Farm Parade. You can also enjoy wine and food tastings, restaurant specials highlighting island grown fare, lodging specials, farm tours, live music, theater and the acclaimed Friday Harbor Film Festival on October 26-28, 2018.
The above picture was taken in abundant Fall at the San Juan Island Farmer’s Market at Brickworks Plaza in the heart of Friday Harbor. It’s a mini fair every Saturday with fresh produce, meats, cheeses, seafood, arts and crafts, live music, chair massages and the most delicious ready to eat foods like spotted prawn paella, pizza, pastries and more.
