Lively Summer Festivals Spell Fun Across Indiana’s Cool North 3
September 15-18, 2022

The Nappanee Apple Festival will have you eating apples in many forms (including a 7 foot apple pie), but there’s a lot more than apples to eat.  Festival foods of all kinds can be found; one of the last opportunities for this season.

Celebrate fall at this apple themed event that includes a parade, entertainment, crafters and artists.
