Apple Fest

The Wayside Inn Foundation (TWIF) is hosting our signature community event, Apple Fest Family Day, this year on October 3, 2026.

More than just a festival, Apple Fest Family Day draws over 2,000 attendees from across the MetroWest area for a free, family-friendly day of educational activities, live entertainment, food, and fun across our 100-acre campus.

We partner with local nonprofits, educators, artisans, and farms to provide:

- Live performances, historical demonstrations, and family storytelling. 

- Hayrides, and educational activity booths tied to New England history, agriculture, and cultural heritage. 

- Participation from dozens of craft and food vendors. 

- Community nonprofit showcases, providing visibility and shared impact
