Johnny Appleseed Festival
1502 Harry Baals Drive
Fort Wayne, IN 46805
Johnny Appleseed Memorial Park
The dates change, but the weekend does not, always the third full weekend of September. The festival over the years has grown to over 200 booths, and has been, in the past, represented by vendors from over 42 different states. Vendors are required to dress in 1800 period dress, sell products, demonstrate trades, entertain and provide food potentially available within the 1800's. Some food delicacies may look a bit modern, but if you do a bit of research you will find that a similar opportunity was available back then. Fun for the family. Continuous free entertainment is provided on four stages with other performances roving throughout the festival grounds. From the dance floor at the Festival Stage, to the Old Time Medicine Show at the end of the road, there's something for everyone. more
