Fall Harvest Festival celebrates everything that makes Applewood special: A place where family and friends can enjoy nature’s beauty, have fun, learn about history, eat locally grown food, acquire a new skill, and experience the enduring legacy of C.S. and Ruth Mott.

Sensory Note: This is a large-scale event that can have more than 1,000 participants over the course of the day. This program may include live performances with amplification, farm animals (and their smells and sounds), and longer lines or wait times for some activities. For more information on accessibility, visit this page.

Community partners who are interested in leading an activity at Fall Harvest Festival must be in contact with the education team at Applewood at least four months in advance. All activities must align with the program theme and desired outcomes. For details, please contact the Manager of Education Programs at 810-396-3112.
