Apple picking season is almost here; get a head start on the festivities (without any of the work) at Artistry on the Green’s Apple Fest. On Thursday, September 18th, they’ll be celebrating the season with passed appetizers and bountiful buffet stations courtesy of Mathew Molloy, and Bantam cider pairings courtesy of Somerville’s own cidery. You won’t have to pick, peel, core or bake a thing; just log on and buy a ticket ($45 each online here) and be in Lexington by 7:30pm. Call 781.301.6655 for directions and additional info.
