The Charlevoix Chamber of Commerce organizes the Apple Fest during October each year, and it takes place along the main drag in downtown Charlevoix on Bridge Street, in the park along the shore of Round Lake.
The main focus is the apples by the bushel load and other locally-grown items, but the art fair is also a great draw.
There must be about 100 booths at this fair. Local farms were selling apples and freshly-made donuts. The local Lions Club was selling hot dogs and fries.
I noticed that many of the craftspeople at this fair are from nearby towns, and that a lot of the items they were selling were very reasonably priced. I'm more likely to actually purchase something from an art fair when it doesn't cost hundreds of dollars. I love handcrafted, unique items and this seems like a great place to get them. read more
