The purpose of the Apple Festival remains as in the beginning – to promote Elyria with celebration. The dollars acquired are saved for future years’ programs and invested to improve the downtown square at Ely Park. Some of the improvements due to Apple Festival dollars are the lighting at Christmas, the fountain, gazebo, and clock.
