Welcome to the Georgia Apple Festival! For 54 fun-filled years, the Georgia Apple Festival has brought two exciting weekends in October to Gilmer County. Ellijay and East Ellijay host hundreds of vendors with handmade, hand-crafted items, on-site demonstrations, live music, and delicious fair food. The festival is named after the ripening apples that you can find all over the area at local orchards. Despite its growth from a small arts & crafts show to the four-day event that it has become today; the Georgia Apple Festival continues to be a big show with a small-town feel.
This sister festival is located behind the Downtown Ellijay Welcome Center and adds fun arts & crafts and food to the downtown scene at the same times and dates as the Georgia Apple Festival. Apple Arts is pet-friendly, and accessible, and admission is FREE!
This special event will take place in Downtown Ellijay starting at 10:00 AM on Saturday, October 11th. The annual Georgia Apple Festival parade is a great opportunity to bring the community together to celebrate with the Apple Capital! This event is family-friendly and free.
