The Four Flags Area Apple Festival Board Meetings are open to the public. They are on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of every month. Due to some scheduling changes please feel free to contact us at 269-683-8870 to verify the meetings. The Board meetings are held at 7:30 PM at the Four Flags Apple Festival Building on the corner of 17th and Lake Street. If you think you would be interested in volunteering please attend one of our meetings and see if there is an area you would be interested working on. You as a volunteer help us reach our goals and objectives of making the Four Flags Area a great place to visit and live.
To Promote, Unite and Cherish
When a committee of community-spirited volunteers gathered in Niles, Michigan in 1972 it was with one purpose: promote, unite, and cherish the apple harvest through an annual festival.
Since that time the number of volunteers has grown many times over, and the community feeling of unity, at least for one week, is evident.
Each year new programs are added and some are tossed by the wayside. Through a series of trial and error the hard working and dedicated officials have weeded out what works, and what doesn't, to make a successful festival year after year.
Thanks to all Sponsors!! Wrist Band Day Thurs $20.00
