Bridgeville Apple-Scrapple Festival

An Open-Air Street Festival promoting Western Sussex County agri-tourism in Bridgeville, held on the second Saturday, that includes a Friday, in October annually. This year is Friday, October 9th and Saturday, October 10th. “Apple Scrapple” has grown from 2500 visitors in 1992 to over 20,000 now and was incorporated in 2002. It has become a major fundraiser for local community organizations and helps elevate awareness of the agricultural profession in lower Delaware. Festivities begin at 4:00 pm on Friday evening with the opening ceremony, Little Miss Pageant, Kids Apple Toss, carnival, food court, sponsorship row, and street dance (there are no craft or business vendors on the side streets). 

Things start up again on Saturday morning at 9am with carnival rides, live entertainment, car show, trade show, vendor fair, craft show, ladies skillet toss, invitational scrapple sling, and delicious food vendors, including apple dumplings, scrapple sandwiches, cheeseburgers, hotdogs, barbecue beef and pork sandwiches, ice cream and much more.

There is something for all ages and all appetites at this exciting event, which begins at 4:00pm on Friday afternoon and runs until the entertainment is over on Saturday evening.

Be a part of all the excitement that IS the Apple Scrapple Festival!
