A Fresh Pick for Weekend Fun: Apple Festival!

Despite the surprise Halloween snow storm Bucks County experienced last weekend, there is still well over a month of fall fun remaining in Bucks County and this weekend is your chance to get back into the fall groove.  Celebrate apple-picking season at the Peddler’s Village 40th Annual Apple Festival, happening on Saturday, November 5, and Sunday, November 6, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m, rain or shine.

• Dig into a scrumptious selection of all things apple from crisp apple fritters and warm apple pie to savory apple dumplings, doughnuts, cakes, turnovers, caramel apples and more from Peddler’s Village merchant and restaurant booths.
• Sample an array of green, golden or red delicious apples from local orchard, Fairview Farm of Pineville, and take home a bushel of your favorite! Sip a warm cup of locally produced apple cider and sample some Pennsylvania Dutch apple butter while you watch authentic demonstrations of cider production in an antique cider press and old-fashioned apple butter cooking in a huge cauldron.
• Once stomachs are satisfied, enjoy the live musical entertainment, jugglers and stilt walkers on the Main Green. Shop the unique handcrafted items at the 40 artisan booths on the Street Road Green that include decorative ironwork, folk art, jewelry, pottery, Victorian stained glass, leather creations, hand painted and reproduction furniture.
• Each afternoon, cheer on the brave contestants in the traditional pie eating contests. The Apple Pie Eating Contest, held at 3 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday, provides lots of laughs and prizes for winners. Competitions are held in these age categories — 10 and under, 11-14 and 15 and up. Contestants are chosen by lottery and must sign up from 10 a.m.-2: 45 p.m. at the Hospitality Booth on the Main Green.
