We look forward to having you visit the Clayton Harvest Festival this year!

Join us at CCOC’s 2026 Clayton Harvest Festival brought to you by Nancy Jo’s Homemade! The Clayton Chamber of Commerce’s Clayton Harvest Festival has roots dating back to 1951 when the Clayton Merchant’s Association (now CCOC) hosted Clayton’s first festival, the Cotton Festival. 

With over 30,000 in attendance, today’s four-day festival incorporates a midway full of carnival rides, car and motorcycle shows, Latin American Festival and other community-focused events, vendors, food, music, and fun.
