Over 50 YEARS OF Harvest Festivals!

2026 marks the 52^nd year running that Applecrest has invited our community to celebrate and share in the harvest! Our Festivals offer a break from the tangle of everyday living with pure and simple, honest-to-goodness fun. They’re a time when friends, families, and kids of all ages can reconnect with each other and with the land to make memories that last a lifetime. So, grab the gang and come visit us at Applecrest where, as always, admission and parking are FREE. See you at the farm!

Summer marks the beginning of our Festivals and Celebrations of all things fruit, from sun-ripened strawberries to plump blueberries and the juiciest of peaches; our Fall Festivals kick-off on the last weekend in August and run both Saturday and Sunday, every weekend, through the end of October.

Please note: Dogs are allowed over most areas of the Applecrest Farm property but are NOT permitted in any picking areas except our apple orchards, where well behaved dogs are allowed.  Dogs must be kept strictly on leash at all times, and we ask that dog owners responsibly clean up after their pets.

Great Pumpkin Carve: TBD Prepare to be astounded as our master carver Mo Auger gets after it with an 800lb giant jack-o-lantern. No one knows just what he’ll whittle that pumpkin into…come and be surprised!

Vikings: TBD Come to Applecrest and see the Vikings of Straumfjordr! Straumfjordr is a living history, Viking age reenactment group based in Exeter, New Hampshire. Throughout the weekend, you’re invited to visit the encampment. There will be a food, textile and battle demonstration along with a fantastic merchandise booth with items made or sourced by members themselves. Feel free to walk around and ask questions about the Viking age!
