No season is quite as beautiful as fall and that’s especially true here at Lake Chelan. Not only are the days are mostly sunny, with beautiful fall colors all around, but it’s also harvest time. The Lake Chelan harvest season is one of the valley’s most exciting times, with a seemingly endless variety of related events to attend!
The Lake Chelan Valley is well known for its apple and wine grape crops and harvest time is one of the most active of the year. There’s so much to do and see you may have a hard time choosing which weekend to come and which events to attend.
The calendar is absolutely packed with back-to-back events all season long and the full schedule isn’t even up yet! Beloved, annual traditions, new celebrations, and the delicious end results of this year’s bounty.
Better yet, Kelly’s Resort will be open for Thanksgiving weekend for the first time in 20 years! Come make the most of the Lake Chelan harvest season with a stay at Kelly’s Resort!
