Sponsored by the West Stockbridge Cultural Council, the festival has drawn thousands to the town's center over the years and is a testament to its tight-knit community.
The Apple Squeeze is a one-day fall festival that takes over the town's downtown with more than 75 artisan crafts, food and information vendors at booths lined up and down Main Street's sidewalks.
The event runs from 5:30 to 9 p.m. on Wednesday and covers Main, Holden and historic Eagle Street. Rain date is Thursday, Aug.10, but the weather looks good at the moment: partly sunny with highs in the 70s.
