🍎🎶 APPLE FEST 2026: Fall Flavors, Music & Fun in Lincoln Square! 🍏🍂

We’re trying something different this year! Instead of battling the crazy weekend crowds, we’re checking out Apple Fest on Friday afternoon/evening. 🙌🍎

The 39th Annual Lincoln Square Ravenswood Apple Fest brings apples, cider, beer, live music, vendors, fall treats, and plenty of neighborhood fun to Lincoln Avenue. 🍻🎶

📅 Friday, October 2, 2026
⏰ 3:00–7:00 PM
📍 Meet at 3:00 PM — Corner of Lawrence & Lincoln, in front of Smoke Square, 4774 N. Lincoln Ave.
💵 $5 suggested donation

✨ WHAT WE’LL DO:

Wander the festival and check out vendors
Grab apple-inspired food, cider & drinks 🍎🍻
Listen to live music
Enjoy the fall atmosphere without the weekend madness!
If you can’t make it at 3:00, come when you can! We’ll be there until at least 7:00 PM.
Most likely, we’ll grab a bite at one of the many restaurants nearby afterward. 🍔🍺
