Apple Festival-An October Tradition in Charlevoix
October 12-14, 2012
What began more than 20 years ago as a way to celebrate fall has turned into an annual event of the apple in Charlevoix: Apple Festival. Held each year on the second weekend of October, Apple Festival turns downtown Charlevoix into a festive and fun place to be.More than 30 orchards represented at Apple Festival and they bring more than 30 varieties of traditional and heirloom apples along with cider, baked goods, apple butter, and other fall produce like pumpkins and squash. The accompanying holiday and art and craft show brings craftspeople together to show their talent.
New this year is a pumpkin carving contest with prizes to carvers and the pumpkins on display in Bridge Park during the weekend.
Spectacular fall color typically is on display during the weekend and the combination of fall foliage and Apple Festival brings visitors to Northern Michigan from across the Midwest. Held along the waterfront in downtown Charlevoix, Apple Festival is a great way to celebrate fall.
