Event Description
On October 3rd from 10-2, Ross Bay Villa Historic House Museum presents our annual Apple Harvest Festival!
Join us at the Villa as we celebrate the harvest season, with apples! Enjoy apple treats and tea in our beautiful gardens, under the branches of heritage apple trees. Listen to a live guitarist, Mark Davis, while painter Barb Lee paints en plein air.
Stop by our weekly Gift Shop in the Garden and take away a few treasures and a taste of the past. From whole fresh-baked pies, preserves, chutneys and cordials, to books, clothing, and our own tea blend…there will be something for everyone! Tea, and a slice of pie will be $10/person. We accept cash, e-transfer, or Square. Admission to the grounds of the Villa is free.
If you have your own apple tree, but do not know what kind, you’re in luck! The BC Fruit Growers Association will be on-site to ID them for you. Bring three unwashed apples in a paper bag for analysis.
Ross Bay Villa is located at 1490 Fairfield Road, across from Ross Bay Cemetery. All proceeds support volunteer-run and owned Ross Bay Villa, a heritage restoration project and museum built in 1865.
