One of Bethany’s most cherished traditions is the Bethany Harvest Festival, held annually on the first Sunday in October on the grounds of the historic Bethany Airport. This beloved event celebrates the town’s rich agricultural and equine heritage, bringing the community together for a day of local food, crafts, and family-friendly activities. The airport hangar, pictured here, serves as a striking backdrop and a reminder of Bethany’s unique history.
