Celebrate apple season and the local harvest at the Peddler’s Village Annual Apple Festival!
Dig into scrumptious apple fritters, apple pie, apple dumplings with warm vanilla custard sauce, apple doughnuts, apple cakes, apple turnovers, caramel apple bread, & more from Town Crier Bakery plus homemade Candy and Caramel Apples from Skip’s Candy Corner!
Sample green, golden and red delicious apples from local Bucks County orchards, Fairview Farm of Pineville and Active Acres of Newtown, and take home a bushel of your favorite! Sip a warm cup of local apple cider and sample some Pennsylvania Dutch apple butter while you watch authentic demonstrations of cider production in an antique cider press and old-fashioned apple butter cooking in a huge cauldron.
Once stomachs are satisfied, enjoy the live musical entertainment throughout the Village. Shop the unique handcrafted items at the artisan booths on the Street Road Green that include folk art, jewelry, pottery, clothing and leather creations, hand blown and fused glass, birdhouses and furniture.
