The Surface Creek Valley is known for its temperate climate, and early settlers took advantage by growing award-winning apples, peaches, and other fruits. In 1909, Cedaredge and other Surface Creek fruit growers entered the National Apple Show, winning more prizes than any other entrants from across the nation.
Cedaredge Applefest has been celebrating area fruit growers annually since 1977 on the first full weekend in October, commemorating the fall harvest and rich agricultural heritage of our area.
Festivities include live music, art, craft & food vendors, a 5K run, and tons more!
​Bringing together our local businesses, apple orchards, artists, musicians, 160+ vendors, and over 20,000 event attendees, you definitely don’t want to miss this amazing community event with distinct Cedaredge flair and flavor.
