My husband and I have decided to make our trip to Gettysburg an "annual thing". And every year we go to the apple festival. We leave our hotel early and drive to one of the designated parking areas and ride on the school bus into the festival. We always have such a great time! There are countless numbers of stands... more

I have been going to this festival on and off for at least 20 years. Either as a worker (scarecrow stand in the old days) or as a "tourist". Yes the traffic and lines for shuttles are a pain but, the organizers have done everything possible to make the event tolerable. My suggestion would be to take binoculars for the... more

I traveled here from laurel, MD in 2008 for the first time and loved it. So much delicious food, and the countryside is beautiful. The drive alone is so relaxing. The festival is very well organized with clearly marked buses taking you from the ample parking to the actual festival. People were polite, food and crafts top-notch, and the entertainment... more

As for the "out of state people" they apparently don't know what an adventurous fall time festival is all about. I have been going to the Apple Harvest festival since I was still in my mother's belly. My grandparents sold there handmade/painted crafts at the festival until I was about 8 and I can vividly remember helping out. This is... more

Since the other poster had such a bad time, let me tell you how sweet it actually is. We've been making this trip 10 out of the last 12 years and we're 2 1/2 hours away. Yes, the parking can get a bit hairy, but we have yet to have problems like the previous poster had. Yes, you are on... more

This was without a doubt the worst organized 'festival' ever. After viewing the enticing websites loaded with glowing reviews for the event, we were duped into making the drive from out of state. To make a long story short, we spent less time driving the 100 miles to this zoo then we did in the car trying to park. In... more
