Summer may have come and gone, but you can still reap much of what was sown in this year’s growing season.

Savor the San Juans, the monthlong carousel of food, farm and art festivities is in full-swing with October’s arrival.

So, put on your flannel shirt and a pair of muck boots, and join the annual Fall Farm Parade, Oct. 4, 2:30 p.m. The celebratory march honors San Juan Island’s agricultural output and offers a “tip-of-the-hat” to those that made it happen. The procession will assemble at the Fairgrounds, head down Argyle Avenue and wind its way through town, and conclude at the Grange Hall for a post-parade open house, featuring refreshments, displays and music by Island Chordesman Plus and the Spuds.

This year’s procession is dedicated to the parade’s first-ever grand marshal and former San Juan Island Grange Master Al Sundstrom, who, at age 96, passed away in mid-September.

Also featured in Savor the San Juans, Pelindaba Lavender Farm will host tours of its fields on Saturdays, beginning Oct. 4, and offer demonstrations of its essential oil distillation technique, at 2 p.m. Come relax (lavender is a sedative, literally), enjoy the therapeutic scents, and get an education in the many uses of lavender.

Artstock Fall Festival of Art returns for its association, Oct. 4-5, 3:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. The gathering begins at Brickworks, 150 Nichols Street, and continues throughout the evening at various locations around town. Look for the amber lights that illuminate participating galleries and eateries.

Some like it hot, when it comes to chili, others, not. Either way, the third annual Chili Cook-off, Saturday, Oct. 11, at Brickworks, will showcase a most zesty competition in the culinary arts, beginning at 3:30 p.m.

In addition to scorching stews, the event features a local Art Market, musical performance by the Rocky Bay Boys and a beer garden (which could help cool down the taste buds, to a degree).

Sourcing ingredients locally and dishing up their best meat and vegetarian chilies, island chefs will be competing for the coveted “Chili Champion” title, and a year’s worth of bragging rights. Admission is $16 for adults; $10 for children. Entry to the Art Market and beer garden is free.

Pull up your lederhosen (it’s German for “leather breeches”) and stick a feather in your favorite alpine cap, Oktoberfest 2014, celebrates some of the best of Bavaria’s cultural contributions, and much more (Chicken Dance, anyone?) on Oct. 11, 5 p.m., at the fairgrounds. The evening’s activities include live oompah-pah music, Bavarian food fare and beer, and a costume contest. Dress up and admission is free.

The full bounty of harvest time in the San Juans will be on display and at your fingertips at the “Bite of the San Juan Islands.”

Sponsored by Friday Harbor’s San Juan Island Cheese, The Bite, Sunday, Oct. 26, 1-4 p.m., will feature a wide array of tasty morsels created from locally grown and produced ingredients, including cheeses, meats, produce and seafood. Island-made wine, beer and cider will also be available.
