The Apple Harvest Festival is one of the most popular attractions in Ithaca. Vendors from all over the Northeast come to sell baked goods, apple products and an array of handcrafted works to hundreds of customers each year. Last year, Apple Fest was held in a smaller capacity because of the pandemic and was called Apple Festive. There were no food trucks or craft vendors and there was a limited number of baked goods. This year, Apple Fest returned in full force with local Ithacans excited to wander The Commons and explore the numerous craft and food options available from Oct. 1 to 3, especially the highly desirable apple cider donuts.
