Every year, on the last Saturday in September, the New Cumberland Apple Festival is held at New Cumberland Borough Park. Over 70 food vendors and 200 craft vendors are set up in the park, offering visitors an array of apple-themed treats, crafts, and entertainment. Highlights of this one-day, family-friendly event include:
A trolley transports visitors to the festival from several points along Bridge Street.
After exploring all the festival's offerings, venture into the heart of downtown, where you can shop for unique artisan creations at Tickle My Senses, Oxford Hall Celtic Shop, and Moss Creek Art. Quench your thirst with a drink at Dead Lightning Distillery or enjoy Ever Grain brews and wood-fired pizzas at Wild Rabbit Pies & Pints. Check out the schedule at the recently remodeled West Shore Theatre, where you can end your day with a film or musical performance.
While you're visiting for the Apple Festival, plan a weekend getaway. Take in our other area farm attractions, u-pick fields, restaurants, and family attractions. And be sure to sign up for the Cumberland Valley Family Adventure Trail, which features attractions perfect for a day out with the kids. Check in at participating locations to earn prizes.
