Berkeley Springs is a year around community, but you can’t beat the sights and sounds of summer. The clear starry night skies are the backdrop for the crickets chirping, meteor showers, and the crackle of campfires.  The sounds of summer include concerts and live music every weekend, the swoosh of golf clubs, the spinning of the wheels on mountain bikes, splashing of kids catching crawdads in the mineral springs and the ohs and ahs of firework spectators.

In the fall the mountains become vibrant with their red and yellow leaves, but it is also time for the 49th annual Apple Butter Festival.  On Columbus Day weekend every year the town fills with craft vendors, music, contests, food, a parade and kettles of apples being stirred. Once the apples cook down you add sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg to complete the apple butter. It is jarred warm and sold right there at the festival.
