The Georgia Apple Festival is back for two weekends in October, honoring all things autumn.

Celebrating its 53rd year, this apple festival in Georgia offers unique activities, delicious food, hundreds of vendors, and so much more.

This year is going to be bigger and better than ever before, with hundreds of vendors, offering hand-crafted goods, handmade gifts, on-site demos, and even a parade.

Of course, it wouldn't be an apple festival in Georgia without all things apple, right?

Explore the vendors selling baked apple pies, donuts, ice cream, and other delectable treats.

The smell of the warm and fresh apple dumplings keep you from passing up this booth. Say yes to the ice cream as well.

And yes - the savory foods available are delicious, including this platter served during a previous festival.

In case you’ve never visited Ellijay during the fall, this is the time to do so. The crisp cool nights produce some of the best-tasting apples around.

Find a fresh-picked bag of Fujis or our favorite - the Pink Ladies.
