Lily Creek Farms in Napoleon will hold our annual Fall Horse & Cider Fest on Saturday, October 17, from noon to 6 p.m.

This is one of our favorite days of the year because our therapeutic riding students get a chance to show family, friends and the community what they’ve been working on all year, but in a fun and festive way. Our horses will be dressed in costumes, students will be playing games on horseback, and guests can join in stick-horse races and even horses-versus-kids apple bobbing.

The festival will also include more than 25 farmers market vendors, food trucks, the Bucking Barista coffee truck, cider slushies, trolley rides, kids activities, farm animals, crafts, photo opportunities and more.

Guests can also take a trolley ride through the farm and see the progress on our Orchard to Oasis project, which is transforming much of our former apple orchard into new areas for pasture, trails, programming and community use.

Admission is by free-will donation, and advance registration is encouraged.
