AppleFest: A Harvest Family FUNdraiser

  • Stone Ridge Orchard (map)

Join The Vanaver Caravan for the inaugural AppleFest, a lively harvest gathering for the whole family! Tickets by donation. AppleFest will be held at Stone Ridge Orchard on Saturday, October 21st, 2023, from 3 - 6pm.  

Enjoy an autumn afternoon of live dance and music, pumpkin painting, raffles, and more. Food, drink, beer and cider will be available for purchase at the orchard–and don't miss the opportunity to support the orchard by purchasing freshly picked apples.

This FUNdraising event supports The Vanaver Caravan's Betsey Bergman Scholarship Fund, which provides financial assistance and merit-based scholarships to our Dance Institute. Additional donations are welcome. AppleFest is held in memory of beloved Caravan Board President, friend and philanthropist, Julien Studley–whose support in the region has made a lasting impact.
