Welcome to <strong>Applefest</strong> ’12<br />
<strong>Applefest</strong> began in 1989 as a simple harvest celebration<br />
to support the <strong>Warwick</strong> Valley Community Center held in<br />
the village streets and parks of <strong>Warwick</strong>, located in the Hudson<br />
Valley of New York. The event is now co-produced by the <strong>Warwick</strong><br />
Valley Chamber of Commerce, and has grown to become a major<br />
event in the mid-Hudson region. Festival proceeds benefit these<br />
and other local non-profit organizations.<br />
This family festival has become an event that many<br />
look forward to for the entire year. <strong>Applefest</strong> is the proud winner of<br />
the Times Herald-Record newspaper’s "Best of 2010 and 2011 -<br />
Family Event of the Year" category, determined by reader votes.<br />
The event was also chosen as one of the top ten festivals in the<br />
"Top 100 Events in North America" by the American Bus<br />
Association.<br />
Over 30,000 visitors attend the one-day event, traveling<br />
from neighboring states to experience the extraordinary variety of<br />
<strong>Warwick</strong>'s apples, culture, and entertainment. Former New York<br />
Governor George Pataki named <strong>Warwick</strong> a "Quality Community,"<br />
and the Village of <strong>Warwick</strong> was a proud winner in the recent<br />
national and international "America in Bloom" competitions.<br />
<strong>Applefest</strong> features over 200 juried crafters and dozens<br />
of vendors offering a wonderful variety of food. In addition, free<br />
musical entertainment on several stages, a carnival for the children,<br />
Farmers' Market, and fifty local non-profit exhibitors all make<br />
for a great day in the country, in a town renowned for its Victorian<br />
charm and agricultural bounty.<br />
