From: Enon Apple Butter Festival2023 marks the festival’s 43rd year and the 24th year for our downtown site. RAIN, SHINE or SNOW!!
The Enon Community Historical Society sponsors the annual Enon Apple Butter Festival as a community service project.
The Historical Society makes apple butter the old-fashioned way in five, 50-gallon copper kettles, cooked over open wood-burning fires. Canning and selling of the apple butter is done at the festival in the afternoon as it becomes ready. Annual attendance is estimated at 8-10,000 for the two days. Admission to the festival grounds is free. Free parking is available.
