“Harvest at the Parkway” September 27, 2026, builds on four years of sold-out shows during the fifth annual Neil Young Harvest Moon Weekend. Catch timeless songs from Neil’s 1971 Harvest and his 1991 Harvest Moon albums, sung in siren-like, three-part female harmonies with a memorable Celtic twist to the arrangements. New this year — deep tracks from some of Neil Young’s other acoustic albums. In what has become an annual full moon tradition with this gig, SimpleGifts is also offering free Moon Pies to everyone attending. Last year, over 400 of these classic Americana treats were consumed and celebrated at the event! More information at: www.simplegiftsmusic.net
