The Apple N Pork Festival is an eagerly anticipated annual event in DeWitt County that celebrates the region’s agricultural heritage. The festival brings together locals and visitors alike to enjoy a variety of apple and pork-themed culinary delights. From apple pies and cider to savory pulled pork sandwiches, the festival offers a tantalizing array of delicious treats. Alongside the food, attendees can also enjoy live music, craft vendors, and family-friendly activities, making it a fun-filled weekend for everyone to savor the flavors and traditions of the community.
Stroll the C.H. Moore Homestead DeWitt County Museum grounds, the home and heart of the Apple ’n Pork Festival.
Admission to the C.H. Moore Homestead DeWitt County Museum grounds and the flea market is free. Tram and bus transportation to and from the museum grounds is readily available for a small fee.
Since the first modest festival which was held on the museum grounds in 1968 and consisted of a kettle of soup and stack of sandwiches, the Apple ‘n Pork Festival has grown to become one of Central Illinois’ largest and best-attended fall events. Still among the most popular food items are the smoked ham sandwiches, kettle-cooked ham and beans, and grilled bratwurst. Proceeds from purchases made on the museum grounds help with expenses associated with the operation and maintenance of the C.H. Moore Homestead DeWitt County Museum.
