AppleFest 2011 Brighton/Colborne
WELCOME TO BRIGHTON APPLEFEST
The community of Brighton is situated in eastern Ontario and is surrounded by rich agricultural land with an abundance of apple orchards and roadside farmers’ stalls. To celebrate the bountiful apple harvest at the height of the apple harvesting season Brighton celebrates its annual Applefest festival in the last full weekend of September.
THERE WILL BE NO CAR SHOW THIS YEAR, DUE TO CONSTRUCTION. THE CAR SHOW WILL RETURN NEXT YEAR.
While activities encompass the whole town of Brighton, most are centred around the main street. Events include BBQ’s, entertainment, children’s activities, dances, a street fair, arts and crafts, and a parade.
Plan to join us for this unique festival. Spend a day or take advantage of one of the areas many bed and breakfast establishments or motels and stay for the entire event or even longer and explore our surrounding communities.
