The community of Brighton, in eastern Ontario, is surrounded by rich agricultural land with an abundance of apple orchards and roadside farmers' stalls. To bear witness to the bountiful apple harvest at the height of the harvesting season, Brighton celebrates its annual AppleFest festival over the last full weekend of September.
The Municipality of Brighton’s Applefest Committee has made the
difficult and unfortunate decision to cancel Applefest for 2021due to the uncertainty
regarding gathering sizes, while adhering to Public Health and Provincially mandated
protocols and restrictions.
The Applefest Committee remains cognizant of the several volunteer hours, community
resources and municipal funding it takes to operate this event that traditionally
welcomes 10,000 attendees to Brighton each year.
If restrictions allow the Committee would like to offer in person community activities in
the spirit of Applefest. Final decisions on a smaller community event will be made by the
middle of August 2021.
