Apple Festival 2024 Begins In
Thanks to everyone that helps make our Apple Festival such a success each year! We are gearing up for the 39th Annual Apple Festival, and are adding some new features and making some changes to create a better festival for everyone.  Admission will remain $5/carload, and free shuttle trams will be operated by our volunteer drivers. The handicapped golf cart shuttles, courtesy of  our locally owned and operated Taco Bell will also be available. As always, 100% of the festival profits are donated back to our local communities.
The Club

The Hastings Lions Clubs’ charter installation was held in June 2021 with 27 members joining the organization. We were previously known as the Lioness Club of Central Square which began on May 17, 1984. The Hastings Lions Clubs is here to serve the community minimally within the Central Square School district and the North Shore of Oneida Lake.

The mission of Lions Clubs is simply to serve our community. Our focus is to improve health and well-being, strengthen communities, and support those in need through humanitarian services and grants that impact lives globally, and encourage peace and international understanding. That is a powerful statement, but our group has been doing this for our local community for close to 40 years now.

Through fund raising events such as our Central Square Apple Festival, we support local food banks, schools, and emergency services as well as individuals needing assistance. We also support local organizations with funding and volunteerism when the chance arises. Lions Clubs focus on vision, hunger, diabetes, and childhood cancer.

Our major fundraising event is the Central Square Apple festival. This is held on the last full weekend in September. We also host our annual Spring Fling Craft and Vendor Show, and RADA Knife sales. Additionally, we partner with other community organizations to serve. Central Square Lions does a Christmas basket give-away that we assist with, we assist with our local Chamber of Commerce. We host a senior dinner annually that feeds any local senior for free to name a few.

We regularly meet the first (1st) Tuesday of each month (at the Central Square American Legion) for our business agendas as well as the third (3rd) Thursday of each month in a more working - social environment. This is held at varying locations within our catchment area. Our meetings generally begin at 6:30 pm.

Together we serve!
