Join us for the 2026 Harvest Bash: Passport to Italy Edition! 

This year’s theme continues an adventure that began in 2025 with the Harvest Bash – Oktoberfest Edition. Each year we will explore a different destination and incorporate their harvest celebrations with all of the elements that you already know and love from the Harvest Bash! Join us and stamp your Providence Passport with a new mark each year! 

This year’s theme invokes the feeling of autumn in the Italian countryside. Imagine harvesting grapes for wine making, pressing fresh olive oils, Italian markets bursting with season porcini mushrooms, pumpkins and squash, the scent of chestnuts and hazelnuts roasting, and of course savoring full bodied Italian wines and chic Aperol spritzes while enjoying rolling countryside vistas. Pair that with the Harvest bash, and you have all the makings of an unforgettable evening!

Why Support the Harvest Bash and Providence of Maryland? 

The Harvest Bash has grown into Providence’s biggest fundraiser of the year. Funds raised enable us to provide the best and most customized supports for nearly 300 people and families who rely on us, especially in times like these when we face budget cuts from the State of Maryland, rising costs of healthcare, fuel and just about everything else, plus economic uncertainty heading into the future. The support of  the Harvest Bash from our donors, friends and community partners is essential to being able to continue our important work for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Anne Arundel and Charles counties.
