Event Description
Celebrate fall at the 29th Annual Apple Butter Festival at Wade's Mill (c.1750), Virginia's oldest, continuously operating commercial grist mill.
Glenn Wilson will be making his famous apple butter the old-fashioned way, slow simmered in a 130+ year old copper pot over an open fire. Take a turn stirring with the long-handled paddle and take home a fresh jar.
Enjoy demonstrations and find unique, handcrafted work and gifts by over 40 artisans and crafts people. Delicious local food and drink and music all day.
Arrive early, bring a blanket or lawn chair for the music and stay all day so you don’t miss out! There will be live music, demonstrations, plenty of locally-crafted beverages, and excellent food!
Stock up on Wade's Mill 100% natural stoneground flours, grits, cornmeals and mixes for your fall baking.
A scenic 10-minute drive from either I81 Exit 205 or 200, Wade’s Mill Apple Butter Festival is a fun family day out and wonderful way to celebrate fall in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley.
