The sights, sounds, and flavors of fall are set to take over Topeka once again as the 44th Annual Cider Days Fall Market kicks off September 20–21, 2025, at the Stormont Vail Events Center. A true Topeka tradition, this two-day event is one of the region’s largest and most beloved fall festivals.
A Marketplace of Makers and Creators
With over 250 makers, creators, artisans, and pickers, attendees can expect a vibrant mix of handmade goods, vintage finds, and one-of-a-kind treasures. From seasonal décor to unique gifts, the Fall Market is a shopper’s paradise just in time for the cooler months ahead.
Family-Friendly Fun
Cider Days isn’t just about shopping—it’s an experience for the whole family. Kids can enjoy a lineup of activities, including a gem prospector station, face painting, balloon art, inflatables from Carnival Guy, and even an exotic petting zoo.
Tastes of the Season
No fall festival would be complete without something delicious. Visitors can savor treats from local food trucks, enjoy apple cider slushes, or indulge in the ever-popular apple cider donuts. For bakers, the Apple Pie Bake Off is a chance to showcase sweet skills and compete for bragging rights.
Extra Perks for Early Birds
The first 100 guests through the doors each day will receive a Cider Days swag bag, perfect for holding all the festival finds. Plus, throughout the weekend, visitors can enjoy craft and DIY demonstrations, live entertainment, and countless photo opportunities to capture the spirit of fall.
