BERKELEY SPRINGS, W.Va. — They call it the biggest party in Berkeley Springs and it returns this weekend.
The 2018 Apple Butter Festival will officially kick off tomorrow morning with a parade at 9 a.m. leading up to events from the Berkeley Springs State Park at 10:30.
Events will include trolley rides, apple butter making, a turtle race, and baking contests.
Jeannie Mozier has served as the voice of the festival for many years. On Thursday’s addition of Panhandle Live, she said attendees should try to arrive as early as possible.
“This weekend, we have guaranteed beautiful weather,” said Mozier. “So, that means we will be packed. I would say, easily 40,000 people will pass thru the festival.”
The Festival will run this Saturday and Sunday wrapping up at 5 p.m. each evening.
