Harvest Fest at The East Troy Electric Railroad

Spend a fall day riding vintage electric trains while enjoying all the activities at The Elegant Farmer's Autumn Harvest Festival. Your day pass covers unlimited train rides between the two depots, so you can hop on and off throughout the day as you explore seasonal festivities. Shuttle trains run regularly, with the first departures around 10–11 a.m. and final return trains around 3–4 p.m., depending on which location you start from. The flexible system lets families divide their time between the historic East Troy Depot (with its museum and gift shop) and The Elegant Farmer (where the festival happens), so you can make the most of your visit. Tickets are affordable and straightforward: adults are $19, seniors and military $16.50, children ages 3–14 are $13, and kids under 3 ride free. Museum members ride free. You can purchase tickets in advance online, which is suggested during this popular event. The all-day pass means no rushing—take your time enjoying the festival, grab lunch, and return whenever you're ready. Just plan to catch one of the final trains so you don't get stuck at either location.
