AppleUmpkin Fall Festival
Mark your calendar for our family-oriented fall festival, always held on the third Saturday in October. For 2025, that’s Saturday, October 18. If weather gets in the way, the rain date is Sunday, October 19.
Most activities are free or low cost, and The Grove fills with craft vendors selling their wares. The crowd favorite every year? Our fresh-baked apple dumplings—enjoy them on site or take some home for later.

Crafts Galore
The Grove transforms into an open-air artisan marketplace packed with local craft vendors and handmade goods. Browse one-of-a-kind gifts and seasonal décor, including jewelry, woodwork, pottery, textiles, candles, soaps, and more. Meet the makers, discover unique pieces you won’t find in stores, and shop small while supporting local creators. Inventory is limited—arrive early for the best selection. Payment methods vary by vendor.
We look forward to the AppleUmpkin Fest all year long!
