2024 NC Apple Festival

The North Carolina Apple Festival is an annual Labor Day Weekend tradition in Hendersonville, North Carolina. Henderson County is the leading apple-growing area in the state, so the festival celebrates its bountiful harvests since 1946. Festival-goers can indulge in favorite​ foods like apple pies, pancakes, and more.

During the four-day event, visitors can enjoy Street Fairs, pick apples at local orchards, see car shows, an open house with antique airplanes, participate in the 8K fun run and a bike tour, apple recipe contest, and watch free entertainment at the Historic Courthouse.
