A family event for all ages, the UBC Apple Festival celebrates one of BC’s favourite fruits.

From learning about the diversity of apples to tasting rare and unusual varieties, Apple Festival is a great opportunity to discover more about this delicious fruit.

Back for its 33rd year, the festival celebrates one of BC’s most prolific fruits and has all the cozy traditions you need to let go of summer and welcome cool weather, from apple cider to heaps of apple pie.

Around 40,000 pounds of apples will be sold to thousands of hungry attendees. Over 60 varieties of heritage, new and “tried and true” varieties are available, grown both conventionally and organically. Varieties of apple trees grafted onto dwarfing root stock are also for sale, perfect for the home garden or patio.

The UBC Apple Festival takes place on October 19th and 20th from 11am to 4pm.

Tickets go on sale at 12pm on September 11th. Make sure to purchase your tickets early to guarantee your spot.

    If I follow the link anchored on the text “Tickets go on sale at 8am on September 9th” one is taken to https://botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/news-events/events-activities/apple-festival/ where one reads “Our tickets will go live at 12pm on September 11, 2024.” Which is correct? Guessing the latter.
