Fall Apple Festival
Category: Culinary arts, food, Festivals, special events, Free event, Fundraisers, Kids, family and Meetup
Join the community on Saturday, October 19th, from 9 AM to 2 PM, for the Annual Fall Apple Festival at Washington Presbyterian Church Pavilion and Park, located at 7405 Washington Pike NE, Corryton, TN. This family-friendly event is free to attend, with free parking available across from the church.
The festival is packed with activities and treats, all in the spirit of supporting local missions. From freshly made apple butter and fried apple pies to apple cider and the popular Apple Pie Contest, there’s something delicious for everyone. Don’t miss Granny’s Attic, the Country Market, hot tamales, and the silent auction, as well as live music throughout the day.
Families will enjoy kids' activities, while food lovers can stock up on everything they need for an epic football party, including canned and baked goods, pulled pork lunches (available to-go), and more. All proceeds go toward missions supporting the local community, and you can learn more at the missions tent. This is a cash-only event, so be sure to bring your wallet and your appetite for a day of fun, food, and festivities. https://www.facebook.com/events/1641877356356615/
