Enjoy the Apple Harvest Festival powered by Volkswagen
Sept. 25, 2012. Fabulous
fall colours, crisp autumn air and even crisper apples. These are just
some of the ingredients of the ultimate Thanksgiving experience.
You’ll
find all this and more at the Apple Harvest Festival powered by
Volkswagen, October 6th to 8th in the towns of Thornbury, Clarksburg and Blue Mountain Village – just 90 minutes north from Toronto.
Awarded the Top 100 Festivals designation by Festivals and Events Ontario in 2011, Apple Harvest has worked hard to live up to the accolades in 2012.
Besides the
incredibly colourful fall scenery of the Escarpment and Georgian Bay,
there are a host of free family events and activities to enjoy as you
venture from one charming community to the next. Take a horse-drawn
wagon ride, enjoy live music, birds of prey shows, guided hikes, face
painting, balloon twisting, pumpkin carving or a visit to the petting
zoo. Get a taste of the local ciders and other apple delights with the
Thornbury Harvest Beverage Passport – new to this year’s festival. And what says autumn more than mini-putting through an apple orchard?
Plus,
the Apple Harvest Festival is your chance to gear up for snow season at
the Turkey Tent Sale. Situated at Blue Mountain’s south lodge, the sale
features up to 75% off ski and snowboard equipment, accessories and outerwear.
Hit the Trail in Volkswagen Style
An
exciting and essential part of any visit to Canada’s second-largest
apple growing region is a trek along the Apple Pie Trail – voted Best
Culinary Tourism Experience in Ontario. The trail winds its way through
incredible scenery along the Volkswagen Fall Colours Drive Routes from
Collingwood through the Beaver Valley to Owen Sound and is comprised of
33 stops. These feature the best in local apple cuisine, art, history,
wine, cider and, of course, the region’s famous apple pies.
Customize your getaway with the Autumn Experience Hotel Pack and save 25 % on a range of activities
