Join us for a celebration of all things apple on our Carrboro Lawn on September 26th from 11am to 1pm! Free to all! We will have: NC Apple Tastings Apple Pie Contest Apple-Based Product Samplings Cider tent Kid's activities… and more! More info to come!
AppleFest is a community harvest celebration on the lawn at Weaver Street Market featuring local fruit tastings, a pie competition, and children's activities. To make the most of your visit, plan to arrive close to the 11:00 AM start time to secure parking in the adjacent municipal lots or nearby parking decks, as the Weaver Street gravel lot fills quickly. The event is entirely free to attend, making it highly accessible for parents with toddlers who might only stay for thirty minutes. Bring a picnic blanket so your children can stretch out on the grass while you sample the local ciders and baked goods. This gathering makes an excellent weekend stop because it combines your weekly grocery run with easy, outdoor entertainment. You can grab lunch from the indoor hot bar, let the kids participate in the lawn activities, and head home just in time for afternoon naps.
No, admission to the event on the lawn is completely free, including the apple tastings and children's activities.
Where is the best place to park for this event?
While Weaver Street Market has a small parking lot, it fills up rapidly. You can find free public parking spaces along Weaver Street, at the Carrboro Town Hall lot, or in the nearby Hampton Inn parking deck.
