The festival will take place along South Academy Street in Downtown Cary. The event celebrates the harvest season when our farmers are bringing in their fall bounty during the first crisp days of fall. There will be live music on the main stage, a kids performance area, fun games and interactive exhibits, local food and craft beer, art & crafts and a mid-day pie-eating contest.

Project Pando is a community-driven effort to collect seeds from local, native trees and then raise these seeds into trees to be given away for free. During this talk, you will learn how Project Pando works and discuss its top five goals, which are: Help people fall in love with Nature Help reforest the planet with native trees Create an open-source, local pipeline of free trees that are native to the given area Help people build skills and knowledge for collecting native seeds Help generate popularity and best practices for planting small trees For more information and ticket: www.carytreearchive.org/speakers2023.php
