Harvard Milk Days
Harvard Milk Days
Billed as the state's longest running hometown festival, it started out in 1942 as a glorified picnic, where they paid tribute to the area's dairy farmers and chugged 500 gallons of milk. The festival has expanded to events that include a parade, cattle show, fireworks, bed races, milk drinking contest and more.
