MILTON, Ga., Sept. 22, 2014 - The changing leaves and temperatures of October in Milton can mean but one thing: It's time for Crabapple Fest!

Held Saturday, Oct. 4 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in historic downtown Crabapple, Crabapple Fest will again see the City of Milton and non-profit Crabapple Community Association (CCA) combine to put on one massive destination festival.

Once again, an incredible fall festival will greet the community, including:

a music and entertainment stage featuring Banks and Shane
games, rides and activities for kids
an Oktoberfest Biergarten by the Olde Blind Dog Irish Pub

Parking and attendance, as always, are free. Shuttles will be available all day from Crabapple Crossing Elementary School and Crabapple Baptist Church. Click here for directions to Crabapple Fest, located at 765 Mid Broadwell Road.

"We've really pulled out all the stops this year to bring everyone more of what they love about the festival," said Peyton Jamison, president of CCA. "We'll have great antiques and art, incredible performances and the best of North Fulton's food scene.
