The North Carolina Apple Festival
The idyllic mountain town of Hendersonville NC hosts numerous events throughout the year but perhaps the most famous is the North Carolina Apple Festival. For more than 60 years, the NC Apple Festival has been held on Labor Day
weekend on the historic downtown streets of Hendersonville NC. Visitors and residents of the city enjoy the arts & crafts, live music, children's and youth activities, special exhibits and bountiful mounds of apples every first weekend in September as the city turns itself upside down for apples. Covering more than 9 blocks, vendors from across the county
set up shop to sell their apple
products and other delicious fares.
On Labor Day, everyone joins
together to participate in and watch
the festival's main event, the King
Apple Parade. It is no surprise that Hendersonville NC is the host
of the North Carolina Apple Festival; Henderson
county is the largest apple producing county in a state ranked the 7th largest apple producing state in the nation. Enjoy numerous hybrids and varieties including Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Rome Beauty, and Galas. To learn more about the festival, or to participate as a vendor call 828.697.4557.
Hendersonville Annual Garden Jubilee Festival
 The two day, Hendersonville Garden Festival is held annually over Memorial Day weekend. For more than 15 years, the festival has brought together gardening industry experts and gardeners right before the peak spring and summer growing season. More than 100 vendors
bring thousands of varieties of annuals, perennials, vegetables, trees, shrubs and hybrid plants. During this special event, downtown Hendersonville NC closes Second Avenue all the way to Caswell Street so vendors can line both sides of the streets.
