Mill Neck Manor's Apple Festival

The Mill Neck Family of Organizations is thrilled to announce that its Annual Apple Festival will be held on Saturday, October 8th and Sunday, October 9th, from 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM.

The festival will be back in person this year, following a two year drive-thru format due to the pandemic. The excitement is building, as the 2022 festival promises to be bigger and better than ever. Located on Mill Neck Manor’s 86-acre campus, the Apple Festival draws tens of thousands of visitors who return year after year to enjoy this long time, celebrated tradition. Mill Neck Manor alumni also attend the Apple Festival, as an annual “homecoming,” with the event bringing the heart of the Long Island Deaf Community together.

The 2022 Apple Festival will bring the best of the fall season to Long Island; boasting a plethora of apple varieties, Karl Ehmer specialty meats, grilled bratwurst, a wide variety of cheeses, and plenty of mouth-watering baked goods, jellies, fudge, strudel, and more. The festival also showcases the latest in Deaf technology, healthcare checkups, children’s face painting, a pumpkin patch, handmade country crafts, and American Sign Language books and novelty items.

Other exciting additions that visitors can expect from this year’s festival, include tours of the historic Mill Neck Manor House, craft beer and spirits for purchase, complimentary Charcuterie tutorials in the “Cheese House,” and rides and games for the kids. A schedule of live entertainment is also in store, featuring a lineup of musicians, children’s entertainment, ASL classes, and many more activities throughout the weekend.

All festival proceeds will benefit the Mill Neck Family of Organizations’ mission to create a world in which Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals are included, empowered, celebrated and embraced as equals through quality educational, employment, audiological and spiritual programs and services.
