Record-Breaking Results!

The 46th Ruthven Apple Festival was our most successful yet, raising an incredible $108,354 and surpassing the previous record of $75,000! With sunny skies and thousands of visitors at Colasanti’s Tropical Gardens, it was truly a perfect weekend.
A heartfelt thank you to Colasanti’s Tropical Gardens, our dedicated volunteers, sponsors, and the entire Ruthven Apple Festival Steering Committee for making this achievement possible. These funds directly support programs and services that promote inclusion, independence, and quality of life for more than 700 individuals and their families across Essex County.
