Catch a ride to Hood River Fall Festivals, Breweries, Cideries, & Wineries — New School Beer + Cider

The Hood River Orchard and Ale Festival kicks things off Saturday, October 3, 2026, followed by the Hood River Valley Harvest Fest, October 9–11. With large crowds expected at both festivals, attendees can skip the traffic and parking hassles and let Gorge Transit be their designated driver.

Together, these fall favorites offer a family-friendly celebration of the bounty, flavors and vibrant spirit of the Columbia River Gorge, with fresh-hopped beers, local ciders, regional produce and plenty of seasonal fun. Longtime traditions for locals and visitors alike, both events are the perfect way to experience Hood River at its autumn best.
