NAPPANEE — The 47th Nappanee Apple Festival is currently in full swing. Downtown Nappanee is full of people enjoying the rides, food, entertainment and vendors selling their wares.
If you’re coming to the festival, be sure to stop by the Apple Festival Information Booths, located at the Depot Gazebo and the Clark Street Gazebo and pick up an information flier so you don’t miss out on any of the fun.
Also visit the Nappanee Store featuring an assortment of apple specialities and load up on those apple goodies such as apple pie, dumplings and apple butter.
Entertainment is being offered on three different performance areas: The Nappanee Public Library Lot; Kountry Cabinets Entertainment Tent, located in Dept Plaza and the Goshen News Stage, located on North Clark Street. The fun doesn’t stop today, Saturday, Sept 16, until 9:30 p.m. when the Gene Mullet band leaves the stage.
Sunday promises more fun with a variety of entertainers. Be sure to check out the XPOGO Stunt Team.
Parking is available in a number of public lots with shuttle service to where all the action is taking place.
