Apple Festival – TENTATIVE

We are currently considering how we might host this event in a way that protects the health of our visitors, staff, and volunteers. Decisions will be made closer to the tentative October date(s) of the event in order to take into consideration the most current pandemic conditions and recommendations from health officials.

October 10th & 11th, 2020

10am-5pm

Celebrate the harvest at Carpenter Nature Center’s annual Apple Festival. This event is held snow or shine, with several activities being adjusted to accommodate the colder weather.

At our orchard enjoy pick-your-own Apples and Pumpkins, the volunteer bake sale, cider-making demonstrations, pumpkin painting, delicious apple brats from the Hastings Lions Club, and more! In our Visitor Center learn about the animals of the St. Croix River Valley, get your face painted, and have fun with kids crafts and other activities.

This event would not be possible without the support of generous donors. Please consider sponsoring this event! For more information, contact Erika.
