Appleumpkin Festival – Gaslight Village of Wyoming, NY

When: September 29 & 30th, 2018 10am – 5pm
Where: Village of Wyoming, NY

What’s in an “AppleUmpkin”? It’s two words mended together like the ingredients of an apple pie. It’s “Apple” and “pumpkin.” It’ll make much more sense to you when you’re standing amidst the festival goers at the Wyoming Gaslight Village AppleUmpkin Festival in Wyoming, New York. The area is full of pumpkin patches and apple orchards. And in honor of the harvest, peruse the vendors, eat the goods, listen to the music and be with friends.
