This family oriented fall festival is always held on the 3rd Saturday in October which means for 2024 the date is Saturday October 19th. Rain date if needed is always the very next day, Sunday. Most activities are either free or have a minimal charge. The Grove is always filled with various craft vendors selling their wares. The highlight of the festival always seems to be the large amount of fresh baked apple dumplings that can be enjoyed at the festival or taken home to be enjoyed later.
Come and enjoy a fun filled family day with pumpkin decorating, build a scare crow, costume parade, apple peeling contest, homemade apple dumplings, carnival games, craft stands and plenty of great food.
