There will be cider pressing, an apple pie competition, chili competition, food trucks, adoptable animals, a coat drive, four musical performances, a beer tent and more than 10 vendors to shop.

Children's activities will include sack races, bobbing for apples and pumpkin painting.

At the festival, there will also be a unique opportunity to see a "bee beard." That's right, someone is willing to let a whole lot of bees casually hang out on their body.

The family-friendly festival will be an all-day event, running from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
