Apple Days & Market To Go
Apple Days & Market To Go is a fall celebration held at the historic Burnside Plantation, Bethlehem's very own "farm-in-the-city"
Experience all that Fall at Burnside has to offer with a range of on-site activities for all ages! Tour historic buildings, barns and gardens with our dedicated volunteers and docents. Kids can enjoy crafts in the Kid's tent, hands-on history with colonial games and the interactive high-horsepower wheel. Everyone loves trying their hand at making cider in the Apple Cider Press, which is over 200 years old! With gardening, historic demonstrations, pie eating contests, and more, there is no shortage of fun on our Farm in the City!
