Perry Hall Apple Festival 2019: Hours, Activities, Tickets

PERRY HALL, MD — The sun was shining during the first day of the Perry Hall Apple Festival, and with temperatures in the mid 80s, it hardly felt like fall was around the corner. Still, signs of the coming season were everywhere, with hayrides circling tents featuring scarecrows, pumpkins and autumn decor, among other items.

Crowd favorites are the "crafts, bluegrass music, great food and the haunted wood hay & gator rides," Perry Hall Apple Festival Vendor Coordinator Audrey Hoffman said.

Approximately 50 craft vendors will be selling everything from wood carvings to natural bath products.

Bluegrass band Arrow Horse will play from noon to 4 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday.

Funnel cakes, apple dumplings, apple cider, pit beef, pulled pork, funnel cakes, baked goods, hamburgers, glazed nuts and more delicious festival food is for sale.
There was an Amish apple butter demonstration Saturday only, Hoffman said. But on Sunday, the rides, crafts, food and fun continue.

Tickets are required for the rides, pedal tractors, mini hay maze, petting zoo, haunted hay rides and gator rides. People can buy them at the ticket booth or inside the store for $2.50 each or 12 for $2. Face painting and pony ride prices vary.

The Perry Hall Apple Festival is from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 21, and Sunday, Sept. 22, at Chapel Hills Farm and Nursery, 4350 Chapel Road, Perry Hall, MD 21128.
