Apple Fest - Lincoln Square Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce, IL

Fall Starts Here!

Celebrate the sights, sounds and flavors of autumn at the 39th Annual Apple Fest in the heart of Lincoln Square! Join the Lincoln Square Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce for three days of fall fun on Friday, October 2 through Sunday, October 4, 2026.

Stroll along Lincoln Avenue and shop fresh-picked apples, cider and seasonal favorites from Midwest farms; dig into creative apple-inspired dishes and festival eats from local restaurants and food vendors; sip hard and non-alcoholic ciders, seasonal beers and more; and browse a bustling marketplace filled with artists, makers and local businesses.

Add in live music, DJs, family entertainment, hands-on kids activities and plenty of surprises along the way, and you've got one of Lincoln Square's favorite fall traditions.

Grab your friends, bring the family and come celebrate everything we love about fall at Apple Fest!
