The story

Cider Days Fall Festival in Topeka

Cider Days Fall Festival fills Topeka with an upscale vintage-style market, mixing apple cider slushes with upcycled furniture, home goods, and handmade gifts. Live bands play over the market while kids head for inflatables, and the festival has marked the change of season here since the early 1980s.

You arrive to the smell of sweet cider and kettle food, and the whole place feels busy in the nicest way: people balancing cold drinks, kids pulling adults toward the next inflatable, and shoppers stopping short when they spot the perfect old chair or handmade lamp.

The mystery stays covered

03

The city starts moving
