What is the Georgia Apple Festival?
The Georgia Apple Festival is a four-day event that has a long history in our state! For the past 54 years, the festival has celebrated local apple orchards and small-town arts. As the festival says, “the Georgia Apple Festival continues to be a big show with a small-town feel.”
What can Georgia Apple Festival goers expect?

For two weekends, festival-goers can enjoy TONS of amazing apple products (and we mean real apples, of course), like apple desserts, apple drinks, apple treats and more!
But it’s not just apples: the festival also features over 300 vendors with handmade, hand-crafted items, on-site demonstrations, live music, delicious fair food… and so much more! It’s the perfect fall festival to get you feelin’ the fall vibes!
And there are also tons of fun things for kids to do, like:
- camel and pony rides
- inflatable bounce houses
- face painting
- train rides
And so much more!
