The Apple Harvest Festival In North Carolina Is A Classic Fall Tradition
This year has taken quite a toll on annual festivals in North Carolina. We’ve missed them and hope things get back to normal very soon. However, one festival, the annual Apple Harvest Festival in Waynesville (taking place this Saturday, October 17th) is still on the calendar – albeit with a slightly modified agenda. If you’ve been missing festivals as much as we have, hit the road this weekend to Waynesville to a festival that’s implemented socially-distant measures to help keep visitors, vendors, and the community safe.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate





One of them includes the use of stanchions down the middle of the street, creating one-way foot traffic paths for visitors to navigate through the event. Additionally, face covers are mandated for all vendors and workers, and visitors will be encouraged to wear them as well. Moreover, vendors will be required to sanitize their booths regularly to comply with the safety protocol. For a complete list of safety guidelines, you can see this link.



Admission to Apple Harvest Daze in Waynesville, North Carolina, is absolutely free.
On your way into or out of town, be sure to head over to Big Creek Country Store. They don’t make ’em like this one anymore!
