This year, Bayfield will be celebrating its 50th Annual Apple Festival. Located on the shores of Lake Superior, Bayfield’s Apple Festival is a celebration of everything apples & the historic local orchards that grow them. It has been touted by Wisconsin Trails Magazine as Wisconsin’s “Best” festival, and listed among the “Top Ten Autumn Festivals in North America” by the Society of American Travel Writers.

Visitors will enjoy over 60 orchard and food booths selling Bayfield’s apples and apple delicacies, 150 art and craft booths, live entertainment by Big Top Chautauqua’s Blue Canvas Orchestra, a family carnival with rides, grand parade with acclaimed 500 member Mass Band playing “On Wisconsin” and the list goes on!
