The Chinese Farmers' Harvest Festival will be held on September 23rd. The Hunan Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs released a plan for Hunan Province to observe the festival. A series of events will be arranged to celebrate the festival.
According to the plan, this year's theme is "Celebrating the Harvest and Greeting the Grand Event". Hunan events will adopt the "1+3+N" mode. "1" refers to events held at the main venue—Hengdong County. "3" refers to events held at the following three sub-venues—Jiahe, Nanxian, and Yongshun counties. "N" refers to serial activities held in cities, counties, townships, villages and related units across Hunan.
Several activities featuring rural culture, having an apparent driving effect, and participated by farmers will be selected, ranging from farm work and folk custom experiences, art performances, and sports games to agricultural products contests and rural food tasting. The events aim to demonstrate farmers' splendor in the new era and achievements of agricultural and rural development and create a solid festive atmosphere. The selection and awarding activities of the top ten most outstanding farmers, top ten counties famous for Hunan cuisine, and top ten processing enterprises of prefabricated Hunan dishes will be held. Three significant events focusing on enjoying delicious food, appreciating beautiful scenery and celebrating the harvest will be hosted.
