The Tradition Continues

Ruthven Apple Festival

For over 40 years, the Ruthven Apple Festival has been a fixture in Essex County, taking place on the grounds of Colasanti’s Tropical Gardens. Over 100 craft and food vendors, a farmers market, live entertainment, children’s activities and more are enjoyed by thousands of people during the last weekend of September each year.  Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the festival has taken on a virtual format in 2020 and 2021.  We hope to see you again in-person in 2022!
