The Harvest Moon is the Full Moon that occurs closest to the autumnal equinox, typically in September for the Northern Hemisphere. Unlike other Full Moons that rise about 50 minutes later each night, the Harvest Moon rises only about 20-30 minutes later as it provides additional light for farmers to work well in the evening.

As summer begins to wane and the days are shortening, the Moon graces the night sky, offering farmers and communities a time to reap the rewards of their labour and celebrate the fruits of the Earth. This is why, the Full Moon during this time is known as Harvest Full Moon.
