Between late September and early October, fresh and cooked apple odors permeate the air in Hilton, New York. This timeframe is the peak of apple harvest across local farms when Hilton Apple Fest comes around. The annual tradition draws 50,000 festival-goers from the state and beyond, who come for tons of crispy apple treats, but not only. The event boasts a jam-packed program of family-friendly activities. Expect live entertainment from local artists, pony rides, a crafts market, and kids' performers. One of the most amazing highlights of the festival must be the Hilton Apple Fest Car Show, held on Saturday.
The Hilton Apple Fest is a non-commercial organization that provides free entertainment to locals and guests while educating the public on local apple growers, harvest season, and the village's history. You can benefit from free parking and a shuttle available at the high school. All details regarding the schedule of events and the latest updates can be found on the official website or Facebook (see the links in the External Resources).
The village of Hilton is tucked in Monroe County, eastern part of New York state. We recommend booking your stay in advance to save yourself a cozy getaway and fully enjoy the festivities. So, keep an eye out for nearby hotels on the accommodations map.
