HarvestFest Marks a Joyful Start to the Fall Season
The event welcomed members of the community to our beautiful Edison campus to celebrate the season of cooler air, colorful foliage, and apple cider with fun for the whole family.
Hundreds of Middlesex County community members gathered on October 16, 2025, for Middlesex College’s annual HarvestFest.
The event featured a wide variety of family-friendly activities for those of all ages to enjoy with food trucks, music, horse-drawn carriage rides, inflatable games, a classic car show, a pumpkin patch, a mechanical pumpkin ride, and more!
“HarvestFest is the College’s way of welcoming the greater community onto campus to celebrate the start of a new school year and all of the excitement that accompanies the Fall season,” said Middlesex College president Mark McCormick.
The event also coincided with the College’s Student Art Showcase, on display in Chambers Hall now through May 21, 2026, as well as the Visual, Performing, and Media Arts department’s presentation of Haunting Melodies—an ensemble performance of spooky songs and scenes from Broadway favorites and the American Songbook including Into the Woods, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and more, that ran October 16–18.
