There’s something special about apple season at James Creek. The air turns crisp, harvest is underway, and the orchard reminds us of where the James Creek story begins — with the apple.
Join us for AppleFest, an afternoon dedicated to celebrating apples, cider, Southern heirloom varieties, and everything we love about fall at the orchard.
Apples are more than the backdrop here. They’re at the heart of what we do. From the unique character of Southern heirloom apples to the cider poured in your glass, AppleFest is a chance to celebrate the connection between orchard, harvest, and cider while enjoying a beautiful October afternoon at James Creek.

Celebrate Apple Season with Us
Of course, it wouldn’t be AppleFest without James Creek cider, fresh apples, cider slushies, orchard views, and plenty of opportunities to learn a little more about the fruit behind the cider.
Whether you come for the market, the music, the food, the cider, or simply that unmistakable feeling of a crisp fall afternoon surrounded by an orchard, we hope you’ll stay and experience a little bit of everything.
AppleFest isn’t just another market at James Creek. It’s a celebration of where our story begins.
