Pike Place: Harvest Fest, Employee Spotlight & Bumble Pig

This weekend only on Saturday, October 29th, our friends at Seattle's Pike Place Market are hosting Harvest Fest. We encourage you to attend and would love it if you stopped by our booth in the Main Arcade.

Harvest Fest is a family-friendly event on Pike's 9 acre grounds. You'll have the opportunity to meet the market's local producers, enjoy live music and giant pumpkin carving, watch demos, see what’s in season, and more! Shoppers who are 21+ can also indulge in a Market tasting experience. Event activities run from 11 am - 4 pm.

At Harvest Fest, you'll also be treated to Pigs on Parade where dozens of Seattle's famous fiberglass pigs will be lining the cobblestones. You'll be able to vote for your favorite piggy and also use your pennies and dollars to make a donation.

Can't be there in person? You can make a donation online. This year, we're supporting Bumble Pig because of our love of bees. Healthy bees pollinate the orchards that we rely upon to make your favorite chocolate cherries to accompany our Beelieve Chardonnay.

Many of you may know us from our Eastern Washington location in Prosser—but did you know that Chukar also has a storefront at Pike Place Market, where we've sampled and sold our cherry goods for over 25 years?

Right now, we have many of our holiday products available for purchase and sampling. This is a great time to get a head start on your Christmas shopping!

One of the fixtures of our Pike Place booth is Bill! Since 2019, Bill has been delighting customers with his flamboyant cherry shirts and upbeat attitude.  

Bill says about working at Chukar, "I get to meet so many people from all over the world who share my enthusiasm for our products." 

This last weekend, we had a famous visitor at our booth: comedian Lewis Black. 

You never know what kind of surprises the Market has in store. Please come by this Saturday for Harvest Fest and find out for yourself!
