Attend Apple Days Celebration, Julian, California
This former gold mining town in eastern San Diego County has been growing apples for more than a century. The Apple Days Celebration is a two-day festival held each year in October. The festival has antiques displays, gold-panning demonstrations and, of course, apple pie eating contests.
The event runs from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., both Saturday and Sunday. The admission is $5 for adults with children 12 and under free of charge.
In 1907, Julian apples won the prestigious Wilder Medal, the highest award given by the American Pomological Society. Hard-working ranchers wanted to celebrate, town leaders wanted to interest outsiders in Julian’s future so preparations got underway for a great event, a harvest home, a fall festival undefined and they called it Apple Day.
“Today, Julian Apple Days is no longer a single day event but a full two month celebration with a variety of daily activities,” according to Tracy Turner, president of Julian’s Merchants Association. “The Festival gives you a special weekend of fun.”
