Apple Harvest Fest & Vintage Emporium

On October 12, from 10-2, Ross Bay Villa Historic House Museum presents our annual Apple Harvest Fest & Vintage Emporium! This harvest-themed event, right before Thanksgiving, combines home-baked apple pies with a variety of vendors featuring vintage, antique, and retro goods. Take away a few treasures and a taste of the past at a volunteer-run 1865 historic site, nestled just across from the iconic Ross Bay Cemetery.

Journey back through the decades under the branches of our heritage apple trees, and perhaps sit in the gardens to enjoy a cup of tea with your slice of pie after browsing our Emporium. Whether you’re a seasoned collector, a vintage enthusiast, or simply curious about the past, you’ll be sure to find that every item has a story to tell. Admission is free for all. This is an outdoor event. Proceeds from space rentals support the preservation efforts of the volunteer based Ross Bay Villa Society.

Don’t forget to visit our “Gift Shop in the Garden” every Saturday, featuring a wider array of goods. However, for the Vintage Emporium, we’ve handpicked outside vendors to emphasize the vintage aspect and bring you an even more specialized experience. Our Gift Shop in the Garden will be smaller, vintage specific, and featuring a range of pies, seasonal preserves, and cordials. Our Book Nook will be open as well. We look forward to seeing what treasures you find!
