Apple Butter Festival

Celebrate fall’s sweetest tradition at the Kimmswick Apple Butter Festival, held on Saturday and Sunday, October 25–26, 2025, from 10 AM to 5 PM each day—the last full weekend of October.

It’s Kimmswick’s largest annual gathering, drawing over 100,000 visitors to its charming streets lined with 500–600 food, craft, and drink vendors, live entertainment, and fall ambiance . Witness the magic of traditional apple butter-making—where apples are stirred in wood-fired kettles for hours until thick and fragrant—and enjoy a full weekend of music, artisan treats, and community spirit

We’ll be there too, offering on-the-spot henna artistry to help you carry a little festive flair with you. Stop by, stroll the historic town, enjoy the aromas and traditions—and let’s make something beautiful together!
