Fall Apple Day Festival

Apple Day is the largest annual festival at Fort Riley, with an average of 7000 attendees.
This free festival has events taking place throughout the day on Artillery Parade field and areas in that vicinity.

Most years feature:
  • Commanding General’s Mounted Color Guard Demonstrations
  • Static displays of helicopters, tanks, and other heavy equipment and machinery 
  • Museum gift shop and other vendors
  • MWR and other informational booths
  • Activities and games for the kids
  • Food and beverage booths
  • Historically garbed volunteers 
 The biggest attraction of the day is always the HASFR tent and Libby Custer's famous apple pies
​made from her secret recipe.
HASFR apple pies are renown by residents of Fort Riley and the surrounding communities.  Our recipe comes from the kitchen of a notable resident of Fort Riley, Libby Custer, wife of the famous General George Custer (resided at Fort Riley from November 1866 to Spring 1867).  It is a single crust pie with a crumbly topping.  The money HASFR makes from selling pies is a HUGE contribution to the Society's efforts to preserve and maintain history at Fort Riley!
