36 YEARS OF HISTORY

Join us in Weston and enjoy a wonderful weekend with arts & crafts vendors, delicious varieties of food, live music, apple butter demonstrations, dumplings galore, kids’ games, and plenty of autumn delights!

For decades, Historic Weston’s Applefest has been one of the region’s favorite fall traditions, celebrating the harvest season and all things apple in the heart of downtown Weston.

Enjoy Apple Alley, apple treats, an apple-themed parade, local crafters and artisans, live music, entertainment, exhibits, kids’ activities, apple butter demonstrations, and more. And yes—the best of all—apple dumplings!

Apple dumplings will be served directly at the Christian Church on Washington Street.

  • "Nowhere! No one has our recipe and no one can duplicate this."

    — Francie Stoner (on the highly sought-after Weston Christian Church apple dumplings)

  • "The members of the Weston Christian Church were selling the most fabulous baked apple dumplings — with or without ice cream — that I've tasted in a long, long time: soft, succulent baked apples encased in a light, flaky crust."

    Kansas City Pitch

  • "Here in Weston, Missouri, fall is our time to shine. Every year, our small town just north of Kansas City comes alive during Applefest weekend, a celebration of all things autumn."

    — Cactus Creek Shop
