With support from Cornell University and downtown merchants, the Apple Harvest Festival began in 1982 to showcase the region's diverse produce. The addition of food, vendors, and other family-friendly activities has grown the event into what it is today, attracting over 30,000 patrons at last year's festival!
The Ithaca Farmers Market features many of the same vendors that our festival does! It operates year-round in a beautiful, rustic park on the Cayuga Lake waterfront. Come browse quality produce and support our community!
