Well, I'll tell ya... it's because the Georgia Apple Festival takes place Oct. 12th-13th and 19th-20th - which means hotels are not doing blocked rooms! (Sarcastic cheer!)
Tickets available online, OR at the gate!
Saturday 9am-6pm and Sunday 9am-5pm
Ellijay and East Ellijay hosts hundreds of vendors with handmade, hand-crafted items, on-site demonstrations, live music, and delicious fair food.
The festival is named after the ripening apples that you can find all over the area at local orchards. Despite its growth from a small arts & crafts show to the four-day event that it has become today, the Georgia Apple Festival continues to be a big show with a small-town feel.
The festival is held at the Ellijay Lions Club Fairgrounds, 1729 South Main Street, Ellijay, GA 30540
