Thirty-one years ago several of Bridgeville’s finest began discussing ways of promoting the town and the agriculture industry that is so prevalent in western Sussex County. After tossing ideas around, this clever group of people came up with …. a festival!! The Festival is still run by volunteers organizing the entertainment, food court and vendors that flood into town on that weekend each year. These volunteers hold regular jobs and work to promote the festival in their spare time.

It would be held in the small town of Bridgeville on the second full weekend in October, that includes a Friday. Now, what theme would best represent Sussex County and in particular, Bridgeville? Apples and scrapple!! We are celebrating our 31st annual Apple Scrapple Festival in 2023.

Live Entertainment!

Hundreds of Crafters and Vendors!

Delicious Food with Social Distancing!
