UBC Botanical Garden’s Apple Festival is back, celebrating one of B.C.’s favourite fruits! This family-friendly event features a wide variety of locally grown apples for sale, each listed by variety and harvested right here in British Columbia.
At the festival, you’ll enjoy local food vendors, a children’s activity area, engaging cooking demonstrations, and our always-popular tasting tent. Excitingly, new this year is an Apple Cider Garden, featuring high-quality, locally crafted, traditionally fermented ciders. Apple Festival is a wonderful way to discover the versatility of this delicious fruit.
Organized by the Friends of the Garden, Apple Festival is a fundraiser that directly supports education, research, and conservation at UBC Botanical Garden. And keeping with the B.C. spirit, the event will go on rain or shine. Attendees are encouraged to dress for the weather, and are guaranteed to have a wonderful time no matter if the sun is out or not.
Early bird ticket pricing is currently on until September 30, so get yours while they’re discounted! Kids 7 and under are completely free, with a standard $9 fee for everyone aged 8-64. Tickets on site will be $12, making it definitely worth it to get your tickets ahead of time.
Come celebrate everything amazing about apples this October with Apple Festival!
