Long Grove, IL – July
2016 / Newsmaker Alert / The 24th annual Long
Grove Apple Festival has been announced for September 23, 24 and 25,
2016. Visitors can expect to have bushels of fun at this celebration of
fall’s favorite fruit and the many delicious ways to enjoy it in historic
downtown Long Grove (www.longgrove.org,
#ILoveLongGrove). From Long Grove Confectionery’s famous apple cider donuts
to apple popcorn, caramel apple lattes and more, Apple Fest has something
to offer for all apple lovers – young or old. Better yet, once visitors
get their apple fix they can enjoy Long Grove’s enchanting outdoor ambiance,
with dozens of indie shops and activities staged throughout the scenic
village (which closes down its main streets to traffic throughout the weekend).
“Although it’s been a hit for decades, Apple Fest has a new found energy,” said Ryan Messner, President of Historic Downtown Long Grove Business Association. “It’s the last big festival of the year and the unofficial kickoff to autumn and the holidays.” Apple Fest guests can choose from countless apple-inspired treats from local merchants and vendors all weekend long. Examples in the past have included:
Historic buildings, cobblestone walkways, colorful gardens, and Long Grove’s landmark bridge make up the old world village. Apple Festers are invited to peruse the town during Apple Fest and enjoy specials at many of the charming shops, boutiques, galleries, and restaurants. “No matter which way you slice it, Apple Fest is your best reason to visit Long Grove,” added Messner.
