The Ellijay Georgia Apple Festival is one of the most looked forward to events in the North Georgia Mountains.

This year marks the 39th annual North Georgia Apple Festival in the quaint town of Ellijay.  The festival runs the first two weekends in October 9am to 6pm on Saturday and 9am to 5pm on Sunday’s.

What is the apple festival?

It’s loads of fun!  That’s what it is!

Juicy apples, apple butter, apple candy, apple pies, apples apples apples!   Gilmer County is the apple capital of the country, so what better place to celebrate then in Ellijay GA!

You’ll find yummy foods (not just apples!), fun activities for the whole family and handmade and handcrafted items, as well as many on-site demonstrations of how selected types of crafts are made.

Looking for some entertainment?  It’ll be there too!  Everything from cloggers dancing away the day to rock and roll and country music!  Pony rides, bounce houses, rock climbing walls and more for the kids and plenty of shopping for mom and dad.

There is also a parade and antique car show each year. The antique car show is held at the Civic Center on October 9th. The parade is on October 16th and begins at 10 A.M.

Make sure to wear your walking shoes – there is so much to see and do, you’ll be on your feet for most of the day; but it’s well worth the exercise!
