The Boxford Apple Festival is a longstanding popular September event for both Boxford residents and welcomes other visitors from the greater North Shore area. The Apple Festival will be held Saturday, September 21, 2024, from 10 am-3 pm. The rain date will be Sunday, Sept. 22.
The Apple Festival is the Boxford Historical Society’s signature event, dating back to the 1960s. Between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., the entire East Village is transformed into a pedestrian mall. The streets are lined with artisan vendors, local musicians entertain, and apple pie and BBQ abound. Festival goers also have the opportunity to tour the historic Holyoke-French house. All proceeds support the maintenance of Holyoke‑French House.
