Welcome to the 31st Annual Warwick
Applefest
Applefest began in 1989 as a
simple harvest celebration held
in the village streets and parks of
Warwick, located in New York’s
Hudson Valley. The event, produced
by the Warwick Valley Chamber of
Commerce, has grown to become
a major event in the mid-Hudson
region. Festival proceeds benefit
this and other local, non-profit
organizations.
This family festival has become an
event that many look forward to
each year. For three years, Applefest
has been the proud winner in the Times Herald-Record newspaper’s
“Best Family Event of the Year” category, determined by reader votes.
The event was also chosen as one of the top ten festivals in the “Top 100
Events in North America” by the American Bus Association.
Over 30,000 visitors attend the one-day event - many local, and
many others who travel from neighboring states to experience the
extraordinary variety of Warwick’s apples, culture, and entertainment.
Former New York Governor George Pataki named Warwick a “Quality
Community,” and the Village of Warwick is a proud winner of recent
national and international “America in Bloom” competitions.
Applefest features over 200 juried crafters and dozens of vendors
offering a wonderful variety of food. In addition, free musical
entertainment on several stages, activities for the children, pony rides,
Farmers’ Market, and over forty local non-profit exhibitors all make for a
great day in the country, in a town renowned for its Victorian charm and
agricultural bounty.
The festival is produced by the Warwick Valley Chamber of Commerce,
which is a full-service business development and marketing organization
dedicated to helping businesses in the Town of Warwick, NY, as
well as the surrounding areas, reach their full potential. A number of
leading edge initiatives make consumers in the local municipalities and
surrounding areas aware of the value that comes with purchasing goods
and services in the Warwick Valley. Visit us at: www.warwickcc.org.
