The Annual Ellijay Apple Festival is held every year in the middle two weekends of October. It a celebration of the apple harvest.
The 4 day event features arts, crafts, quilts, food, apples, music, face painting, and much more. 200+ exhibitors come from all over to bring their arts and crafts. Unique and special items can be purchased at the Apple Festival.
The food is unbeatable every year- everything from savory gyros to fried turkey legs to fried cookies. And of course there are the apples- the Best apples money can by. While apples are for purchase at the Festival, there are many apple houses to stop and shop on the way in. A good choice is Hillcrest Orchards located out Hwy 52 east.
