Lincoln Square Ravenswood Apple Fest

This annual fall street festival returns to Lincoln Square for one apple-filled weekend. Shop autumnal goods at the festival's marketplace, munch on apple-stuffed tamales and apple doughnuts from local restaurants, sip cider and apple-flavored beer, catch live music performances and bring the kids for seasonal activities—you won't find many better ways to welcome autumn.
