Dating back to 1950, the St Peter’s Annual Apple Festival in Monroe is the perfect way to kick-off New England’s fall season. Enjoy a good, “ole-fashioned” apple festival on September 8 (10am-5pm) and 9 (10am-4pm), rain or shine.

More than 100 craft vendors from across the Northeast will set up tents on the historic Monroe Green to sell all kinds of goods, from doll clothes to jewelry to woodcrafts. There will be a food tent, the Country Kitchen space with homemade baked goods, and an abundance of apples and apple-themed items at the Apple Central area. Children will enjoy games and prizes, face painting and a moon bounce. Other highlights include raffle prizes, a fall mum sale, live music and free admission and parking.
