Thanksgiving - farvest festival

OOps, Was too quick to press the button.

I was just reading the other post about preparation of turkey, inspired by American thanksgiving.
That popular American tradition is not originally American (like most of the USA). Harvest festivals have been celebrated in Europe, as an old pagan tradition.

In Poland the festivities, usually in the countryside, take place in September, when the harvest in finished.

I'd like to know if harvest festivals have survived in other parts of Europe. According to Wiki:
<blockquote>Quote
<hr>In British churches, chapels, and schools people bring in food from the garden, the allotment or farm. The food is often distributed among the poor and senior citizens of the local community, or used to raise funds for the church, or charity.<hr></blockquote>
Is that still a living tradition?
Anything from other countries? Or has it all died out when imports and supermarkets took over all the supply of food?

Kind of. Now kids bring in tins and packets of food to school which are usually made into hampers and distributed to the elderly. Well this is in London, maybe they bring stuff from the garden/allotment elsewhere...I don't know though, more likely old people all across the UK spend time wondering what to do with packet of super noodles and some strawberry angel delight.

grape harvest festival in Switzerland. Several events, with particularities depending on the region it is organised in. Unfortunately, many festivals have been abandoned over the years.

Pongal in India.
