Tickets are available **on-site only** as walk-ups for an additional $2.\nParking and the walk\n Park at the Visitor Center or in the Lake Shore grass lot across from the Main Gate, about a five minute walk from either one. ADA parking is available in both lots with a placard. There is no shuttle, because the roads are part of the route guests walk. Surfaces change as you go: paved road and sidewalk in places, stone, gravel, grass, wood chip and boardwalk in others. Some sections are challenging for wheelchairs, strollers, and walkers. \nHarvest Day is one of Ford House’s signature fall events, bringing families, friends, and neighbors together for an afternoon of seasonal fun along the lakeshore.\nThis year’s event is bigger than ever, with 80 vendors—20 more than last year—plus new activities and returning favorites. The petting zoo is back with chickens, ducks, bunnies, guinea pigs, goats, sheep, mini donkeys, and pigs. New this year, guests can step inside a mobile parakeet aviary and feed the birds.\nOther activities include face painting, airbrush tattoos, a straw pyramid, lawn games, seasonal food and beverages, and plenty of time to explore the grounds. Guests can also enjoy a self-guided tour of the Main Residence as part of their visit.\nPlease note: Horse and pony rides will not be offered at this year’s event.\nWith more vendors, more animals, and plenty to do throughout the estate, Harvest Day is a favorite fall tradition at Ford House. Tickets are limited, so purchasing in advance is encouraged. \n*Dogs are not permitted on the grounds this day.\nMap\n \n \n Download the map with vendor locations\n \nThis year, donate some love!\nWe’re proud to partner with Macomb Foster Closet during Harvest Day!We’ll be collecting donations for the organization at the event, with drop-off boxes located at the Main Gate entrance.
