Yes! There is a large paved handicap parking area (a handicap placard must be displayed on the vehicle), and the entire festival area is on asphalt or concrete. Be advised, there are a few hills to navigate, but they are all black top.

A large variety of great food will be available. Apple Fritters, Apple pies, Caramel apples, Fudge covered apples, BBQ sandwiches, pork chops, kettle corn, ham sandwiches, brats, metts, hot dogs, burgers, Southern BBQ ribs, and much more!

Please leave your pets at home. As much as we love animals, Country Applefest is a "pet free" event. Specifically trained service animals, such as a seeing eye dog or medical dog, are acceptable and welcome. Visitors with NON-SERVICE animals will be asked to leave.

Port-a-Lets are located around the grounds, and full service restrooms are available in the white building with the green roof by area E, as well as in the Event Center.

The Applefest office is located on the North end of area E, facing the driveway coming down the hill. A festival staff member is available to help answer any questions you may have.
