Arts Festival
The 28th Delmont Apple 'N Arts Festival is a great family event, one that annually
draws crowds of 30,000 to 40,000 enthusiastic attendees. A tremendous variety of
crafts, excellent entertainment, and delicious food make the Delmont Apple 'N
Arts Festival the perfect fall weekend adventure for the entire family.
All crafts are handmade and each vendor displays unique wares. So come for the
best in ceramics, candle making, decoupage, pillows, wood crafts, and wood
carving. There are over 150 Arts & Crafts Vendors.
Thirty local and professional vendors will provide a large variety of festival
foods. Don't forget, the Presbyterian Church makes Apple Butter right on the
site. The Salvation Army and Lions Club have booths at the Festival, as does
Share Our Joy, another organization whose food sales go to provide a brighter
Christmas for area families in need.
The Festival would not be a success without the help of the Fort Allen

press and provide entertainment with tractor pulls and operating antique farm
equipment both days.
As in the past he Fort Allen Antique Farm Equip. group will be giving the guided
tours to the students of the local schools.
