Fall is officially here and what better way to get into the season than to enjoy an old-fashioned Maine apple fest.

Gather the family and head down Waterville for the 'Family Apple Fest' happening Saturday, October 2nd at Kents Hill Apple Orchard. It's going to be a free morning-time event starting at 9:30 AM and going until 11:30 AM.

The orchard is located in Kents Hill on Route 17 near Torsey Lake and will be bustling with fun things to do for the whole family to fulfill the autumnal tastes, sights and sounds that make fall a favorite season here in Maine.

The orchard is a pick-your-own apple orchard that has a variety of apples to choose from including McIntosh, Cortland, Paulared, and McCoun apples.  So many choices!

Expect fun fall activities like crafting, apple picking, and more to really get into the season and have a fun experience building memories for the family.
