🍎🌽 Let’s kick off fall with an afternoon of apples, animals, and autumn fun! 🌽🍎
Join DiverticalPhilly on Saturday, September 26th from 12 PM to 4 PM for a fun-filled afternoon at the Linvilla Orchards Apple Festival!
Come spend the afternoon enjoying the fall atmosphere, checking out the festival, and hanging out with the group. There’s plenty to do, and you can choose whatever interests you most.
🍎 Apple picking is available for anyone who wants to participate. If you’d like to pick your own apples, you can hop on the hayride and head out to the fields. If you’d rather not go into the fields but still want apples, you can purchase them at the farmers market. And if apples aren’t your thing, no problem — there are plenty of other things to enjoy!
🌽 Explore the corn maze and straw bale maze
🐐 Visit the farm animals
🎃 Explore Pumpkinland
🛍️ Browse the farmers market and garden center
🍏 Grab some fall food and treats
Feel free to explore whatever interests you, hang out with different people, and enjoy the festival at your own pace. There’s no requirement to participate in any particular activity. Whether you want to try some of the activities, socialize with the group, or simply enjoy being outside on a beautiful fall day, you can make the afternoon your own.
So grab your friends and come spend the afternoon with DiverticalPhilly!

About This Meetup Group
DiverticalPhilly is a casual social community focused on helping people make friends, enjoy local activities, and build meaningful connections in an inclusive and welcoming environment.
While many of our members are neurodivergent, this is not a support group, therapy session, or professional support service.
Our meetups are designed to be relaxed social gatherings where people can connect through shared experiences.
Divertical events are not intended to serve as a support group for autistic individuals. While we strive to provide helpful and inclusive information on a wide range of topics, including autism, this service is not specifically designed or equipped to offer the specialized support and resources that may be necessary for individuals on the autism spectrum. If you are seeking support or resources related to autism, we encourage you to consult with qualified professionals or organizations specializing in support services (or look out for support-focused DiverticalPhilly events in the future).
