The Hopewell Harvest Fair is a volunteer-run community event designed to provide a day of fun and entertainment for the families and friends of Hopewell Valley. It is held annually for the purpose of uniting community groups, businesses, civic organizations, and individuals toward the common goals of community celebrations, entertainment, recreation and fundraising.
Organizers say that proceeds from the event support a community grant program, which has donated more than $200,000 to local nonprofit organizations over the past 26 years.
