Ruthven Apple Festival

Did you know? The Ruthven Apple Festival, hosted annually by Colasanti’s Tropical Gardens, has been a family tradition for over 40 years. Each year over 100 vendors and thousands of patrons flock to the festival grounds to enjoy live music, great food, games, and shopping. Proceeds from this family-friendly festival go to Community Living Essex County, and help us to purchase and maintain accessible vehicles used for people with an intellectual disability in Essex County.
