Celebrate Boulder’s apple abundance with Community Fruit Rescue and Benevolence Orchard & Gardens! This gathering celebrates the hands and hearts behind Boulder’s fruit - from orchard caretakers and tree stewards to community harvesters who make abundance accessible to all.

Enjoy an apple-themed potluck* (bring your dish by 3:30 PM), cider pressing, live music, yard games, and apple crafts for all ages.

This event will take place outdoors in the beautiful orchard and farmstand area. Bring a blanket or chairs for picnic-style seating, your own beverages, and enjoy samples of Benevolence’s hard cider on tap.

At 4:00 PM, join a short talk with the AppleFest hosts as we celebrate community and the fruit that connects us.

Free & open to the public with a suggested donation which will support the shared work of CFR & Benevolence. Please register in advance and carpool if you can. Parking will be limited and may be located in two locations at Benevolence, so be prepared to potentially have to walk uphill.

While we love our furry friends, we ask that you please leave your dogs and other pets at home for this event.
