Where community gathers.
From a 70-year-old apple festival that draws thousands every October, to a Mets game with full ASL interpretation, to monthly tours of a Tudor Revival landmark — Mill Neck's events are how the community comes together to celebrate, connect, and carry our mission forward.
20,150 attendees in a single year.
Every ticket, every sponsorship, every box of apples sold goes directly to the programs and services that serve Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing children and adults across Long Island and around the world.
What's next on the calendar.

The 70th Annual Mill Neck Manor Apple Festival
For 70 years, the Apple Festival has brought thousands of Long Island families together to celebrate the beauty of fall — a cherished tradition and "homecoming" for Mill Neck Manor alumni and the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing community.
Two festive days filled with fresh apples, Karl Ehmer specialty meats, gourmet cheeses, baked goods, jams, fudge, strudel, and more. Explore 50+ local vendors offering handmade crafts, apparel, woodworking, jewelry, and unique treasures — all set on the Manor's 86-acre grounds.
Traditions that carry the mission forward.
Each year, a constellation of signature events brings together our community, our supporters, and our friends — and raises the funds that make every program possible.
