AppleFest Weekend I

AppleFest Weekend I

Saturday, October 17th – Sunday, October 18th

10:00am – 5:00pm Daily

Apples and Autumn are New England favorites! Wachusett Mountain’s 42nd annual AppleFest is your ticket to both, featuring every apple-flavored treat from candy to cocktails, and one of the most unique bird’s-eye views of Fall foliage in Massachusetts. Extended to two weekends due to popularity!

🍎 Hot apple cider, fresh cider donuts, apple soda & more from the Red Apple Farm
🍏 Try a Spiked Apple Cider Slushies at O’Brien’s Patio Bar
🎶 Live music all weekend with shows at 12pm and 3pm daily.
🪄 Daily Magic & Circus Shows, contests, and roaming characters all weekend long.
🍺 The most beer of the year. Seasonal pumpkin ale, cider, IPAs, and more from all our local brewery favorites.
🍔 Fantastic food trucks serving up everything from egg rolls to caramel corn, and all sorts of apple treats.
🛍️ Local Crafters Market inside & outside with over forty booths selling homemade jam, handmade jewelry, and more.
🍂 Our scenic Skyride is the best view of Fall foliage around. A peaceful ride to the summit on the brand new Polar Express, with a 360° view of the valley.
