Apple Fest Returns to Historic Long Grove September 24-26
One of the largest Midwestern tributes to apple season will take place in historic downtown Long Grove once again when the 30th annual Apple Fest returns September 24th through September 26th.
The 2021 edition includes countless apple delicacies, everything from fresh apple cider donuts to apple wine. In addition, as always, there will be live music in multiple areas, family activities, and a classic carnival.

This year visitors can expect more of the same as well as other autumn favorites too.
In addition to three-days of colorful apple-themed treats, festgoers can also participate in exciting activities. Apple Fest includes family fun in Fountain Square and a classic carnival. The other big entertainment draw at Apple Fest is the live music playing continuously on multiple stages spread out through town. Apple Fest 2021 headline talent includes: Friday: Sixteen Candles, Saturday:Libido Funk Circus, 7th Heaven, and Sunday: ARRA.
