"This year, we have prepared an exciting lineup of events, from live music and delicious food vendors to apple-pie contests, craft and arts fair, and activities for the whole family," according to MSAHF President Susan Snowden.
"Of course, no Apple Harvest Festival would be complete without the fresh, local apples and homemade treats that have become our hallmark. We invite you to indulge in everything from classic apple cider, apple pie, apple dumplings and all things fall!
We extend our heartfelt thanks to our volunteers, sponsors, and local businesses whose tireless efforts make this event possible. It is your dedication and community spirit that keep this tradition alive and thriving. Many thanks to our presenting sponsor BCT, whose dedication to the agricultural industry is the foundation of its banking tradition.
As we reflect on the past 45 years, we are reminded of the bonds this festival has strengthened and the memories it has created for so many. We hope this year’s celebration brings you joy, laughter, and unforgettable experiences that you will carry with you for years to come."

ABOUT OUR FESTIVAL
The Mountain State Apple Harvest Festival celebrates the apple industry- a valued part of the heritage of the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. Held every third weekend in October, it has become a treasured homecoming with festivities spanning over multiple days.
In the fall of 1979, business and community leaders in the Eastern Panhandle came together with the intention of creating a “signature event” to include all five counties of the broader area, which would become a staple of the Mountain State’s culture.
From this initial idea, the Mountain State Apple Harvest Festival board set about organizing contests, entertainment and craft shows that showcase the apple orchard heritage of the area.
We hope you will make our festival an annual tradition that your family and friends look forward to being apart of for years to come!
