Bayfield, WI – September 29, 2015 /MarketersMedia/ —
Touted by the Chicago Tribune as the “Best Little Town in the Midwest”, Bayfield, WI is home to one of the Great Lakes’ most popular fall festivals. The 2015 Apple Festival will feature all the necessary ingredients for a fun-filled weekend, including live music, a kids’ carnival, a Grand Parade inclusive of a 400 member “Mass Band”, more than 100 unique arts and crafts vendors and, of course, all things apple. The much anticipated weekend-long fall festival, set upon the scenic shores of Lake Superior, boasts the honor of being named the “Best Festival in Wisconsin” by Wisconsin Trails Magazine. USA Today lists the Bayfield Apple Festival among the “10 Best Specialty Food Festivals in the Nation.”
For the 100+ local and regional artisans slated to showcase their wares at the 2015 Apple Festival, October can’t get here fast enough. One returning vendor, Jenn Finnell of Woodsy Wino, explains why this particular fall festival is such a favorite among the arts and crafts community. Finnell stated, “Bayfield is an absolutely charming little town, and the natural setting – right there on the ‘big pond’ – couldn’t be more picturesque. It’s just a wonderful environment in which to work.” She adds wryly, “To be completely honest, though, 50,000+ shoppers drawn to the event each year doesn’t hurt, either.”
Because of the very same aspects mentioned by Finnell, the Bayfield Apple Festival attracts a plethora of unique, high quality vendors from near and far, year after year. “This is our favorite event of the fall,” Finnell says with a smile. “The people are always wonderful, and it’s a great crowd to introduce our handcrafted wine charms and accessories to – Bayfield shoppers seem to really appreciate quality and uniqueness, and Woodsy Wino is happy to offer them those very things. From a sales perspective, the timing of Apple Fest is perfect – time to start that Christmas shopping, folks!”
But let’s not forget the stars of the Midwest’s most popular festival – apples. In addition to over 100 arts and crafts vendors, the festival features 60+ purveyors of distinctive and delicious apple creations, from caramel apples to apple cider, apple butter, apple dumplings, apple bratwurst, and the list goes on.
Now preparing for its 54th consecutive year, the Apple Festival in Bayfield, WI has become an annual tradition for many Midwestern families, and serves a great purpose in boosting the tourism economy for this quaint little lakeshore town. With annual attendance continually rising, and vendors enthusiastically returning to the event each year, Apple Fest is a tradition that promises to continue for generations to come.
