In the Heart of HISTORIC Downtown Nappanee, Indiana

Nappanee becomes a bustling community the third weekend in September as the Nappanee Apple Festival kicks off the 37th annual event! The festival provides bushels of free fun for the entire family and something for every age. This year's festival begins at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 13 and ends at 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 16.

The festival features two stages of free entertainment, craft, commercial and food vendors, carnival rides, scholarship pageant, road run, tractor pull, apple peeling and pie eating contests and so much more! You won't want to miss Indiana’s largest 7' Baked Apple Pie, a 600 lb. apple pie that tempts even the most discriminating palate.

The Nappanee Apple Festival is proud of our family-friendly atmosphere and Midwestern hospitality that attracted over 76,000 people in 2011 and has become one of the largest festivals in the State of Indiana! More than 200 people from the Nappanee community volunteer to help with this festival each year and it has become a part of the Nappanee heritage.

Be sure to check out our full schedule of events and come join us for a fun-filled weekend of entertainment, food and activities! We look forward to seeing you at the 2012 Nappanee Apple Festival!
