Appleween

A whimsical holiday celebrated on August 31st, where participants carve designs into apples and illuminate them with candles or lights, akin to Halloween pumpkins. Originating from a lore about once-in-a-century glowing "Lantern Apples" that bring happiness, Appleween embodies creativity, community, and the simple joys of life, all centered around the versatile apple. Activities include apple carving, recipe exchanges, lantern parades, and more.
