Join us for breakfast on Saturday morning  from 7:00 am to 10:00 am with a buffet breakfast served up by the Ruthven Oddfellows and friends made with country fresh eggs, bacon, home fries and coffee.

The Apple Festival parade begins at 10:30 am on Saturday morning and leads into the festival grounds at Colasanti's.

There, you will find two spectacular fun filled days that will include weekend long musical entertainment, a host of rides and games for children, the annual Apple Festival Car Show, over 100 crafts and food vendors and the popular Farmers Market filled with all the bounty of Essex County.

Thanks to the support of the local community, the festival has raised a total of $600,000 to date for Community Living Essex County in support of people with an intellectual disability.
