36th Annual Applefest - September 18th-21st, 2008
Thursday, September 18th, 2008What began as a small parish ethnic festival 36 years ago has evolved into the area’s largest autumn festival. Held on the grounds of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Fenton, MI, the St. John Applefest has become a community event that draws families from Fenton, Linden, Holly, and all over the tri-county area. As the largest parish festival in the Diocese of Lansing, Applefest provides friendship, festivities, food, and – most of all – fun for people of all ages.
