The Jackson County Apple Festival is the perfect fall festival that takes place every year in mid September. This is one of the biggest festivals around, attracting people from across the US. Started in 1937, the festival has grown into quite the event and is now recognized as a National Geographic site. This weeklong festival features rides, a craft show, quilting demonstrations, a car show, contests, great local foods, parades, entertainment - including country, bluegrass and gospel music, karaoke, and a competition for local and state high school and university bands – and so much more!
Bags of Apples, Jugs of Cider and Apple Butter made on the midway set the scene. The Festival starts at noon on Tuesday. Featured are homemade apple butter, apple pies, and candy apples.
