Amana Colonies’ Apfelfest September 24, 2016

By David Rettig

AMANA, Iowa- You’ll find everything from apple sauce to apple strudel in the Amana Colonies for Apfelfest (Applefest) on September 24, 2016.  The historic seven villages will be featuring all things apple on this special day with apple cider pressing, live music, food samples, special foods in restaurants and food shops, and more.  

 

The village of Homestead (one of the seven Amana villages) is planning special events in the village apple orchard that are designed to treat all five senses. This event is a great family outing as there will be hands on activates for the youngsters including story tellers, apple crafts, and apple bobbing from 2pm-5pm.

 

That evening you can enjoy live theater as the Old Creamery Theatre presents “Grease” or indulge in the Apfelfest Hog Roast with live Blue Grass music by the River Bottom Ramblers at our Brewery.

For a complete list of special events taking place in the Amana Colonies for Apfelfest visit the Amana Colonies Visitors Center, www.amanacolonies.com or call 319.622.7622.
