Join us as we celebrate the Washington State Apple Blossom Festival this year from April 27th to May 7th! Here are some of the things you can look forward to when you attend the Apple Blossom Festival in Wenatchee.

Apple Blossom Carnival

The Wenatchee Apple Blossom Festival boasts one of the largest carnivals in the country! Come enjoy amusement park rides, games, food, and more at the Riverfront Park. If you like state and county fairs, then you’ll love this large-scale carnival.

Wenatchee Golf Tournament

What would the Apple Blossom Festival be without the annual golf tournament? This event brings out 150 golfers who complete against one another at the Highlander Golf Course during the festival. You can enter the tournament or just come watch the golfers compete.

Wenatchee Food Fair

Although apple harvest season is still half a year away, that doesn’t stop vendors at Wenatchee’s Apple Blossom Festival from offering all sorts of delicious culinary delights. Aside from a few apple treats, hungry visitors can find plenty of other delicious dishes to enjoy, including healthy options, traditional fair food, and international fare. There’s always something new to try!

Live Entertainment at the Apple Blossom Festival

If the entertainment is your favorite part of the Washington Apple Blossom Festival, then mark your calendars for the weekends during the festival and get ready to head over to memorial park. Saturdays and Sundays are filled from morning until night with awesome live entertainment. During the week, you can enjoy a show during the lunch and dinner times. Grab a meal from the food vendors, and then head to the stage to see the performances.

Wenatchee Parades

There are two annual parades during the Apple Blossom Festival: the Youth Parade and the Grand Parade. Nearly five thousand local kids will march in the Youth Parade this year, including school groups, floats, and performing arts groups. Also, don’t forget to come for the Grand Parade. This is the original Apple Blossom Festival event, and it’s been a Wenatchee classic for 98 years. Come see the bands, daredevils, and performers who make this amazing parade a special part of Washington’s culture.
