If you haven’t been before, Apple Fest is the Lincoln Square Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce’s annual welcome to fall, and this year marks its 39th run. For three days, Lincoln Avenue fills up with fresh-picked apples, cider, and seasonal treats from Midwest farms, apple-inspired dishes from local restaurants, hard and non-alcoholic ciders, a bustling marketplace of artists, makers, and local businesses, and live music all weekend. It brings about 50,000 people into the neighborhood, which makes it one of the busiest and most fun weekends of the year on our block.
This year Timeless Toys is presenting the Kid Zone Stage on Sunday, October 4, and we couldn’t be more excited about the performers we’ve lined up.
