Tehachapi Apple Festival, Oct. 15-16

This year the annual Tehachapi Apple Festival falls on October 15 and 16. As the name implies, the focus is on “appley” goodness.

The festival is free to attend and is a fun time for the whole family thanks to its vendors, entertainment and the children’s special “kidzone” area, which has games and activities. (Tickets must be purchased to play in the kidzone.)

In recent years more than ten thousand people have attended the festival, so be sure to make your hotel reservations ahead of time.

Enjoy the many different vendors selling arts and crafts, specialty items and more, alongside products that are related to the apple theme. Local farmers will be selling apples of various kinds, along with other items.

Bakers should participate in the apple pie baking competition on Sunday! It’s only open to eight participants, so sign up early. Keep an eye on future issues of The Loop newspaper for details or visit our website, http://www.tehachapiapplefestival.com.

Joining the festival is the Greater Tehachapi Chamber of Commerce’s Fall Carnival on October 14-16.
