The Sweet Taste of Tradition: Celebrating 52 Years of the Georgia Apple Festival
When: October 21 - 22
Where: Ellijay Lions Club Fairgrounds, 1729 South Main Street, Ellijay, GA 30540
For over half a century, the Georgia Apple Festival has been an annual tradition in Gilmer County. This beloved event, taking place over two exciting weekends in October, transforms the towns of Ellijay and East Ellijay into a bustling hub of activity. With hundreds of vendors offering handmade and hand-crafted items, on-site demonstrations, live music, and an abundance of delicious fair food, it's no wonder that the festival has become a cherished part of the community's identity.
The festival derives its name from the luscious apples that are plentiful in the region's local orchards. As the fruit ripens, it sets the stage for a celebration that has evolved from a humble arts and crafts show into the four-day extravaganza it is today. Despite its growth and popularity, the Georgia Apple Festival has managed to maintain a delightful small-town feel that keeps visitors coming back year after year.
