I introduce Apple Festival which began in September of 2001 in Hendersonville in North Carolina of America!!!!

It is held on every Third Saturdays in September at Historic Bethabara Park in Winston-Salem, a four day celebration, and we can participate in this festival for free. Historic Bethabara Park is filled with bluegrass music and old-time music, unique crafts apple products children’s & youth activities and foods.


But why is this festival ‘Apple Festival’?? I tell you about history of this festival.

In 1753, the Moravian (east of the Czech Republic) arrived in America. Then they brought apple seeds from Europe and sowed them. According to the record, they advice to plant six apple trees each family. After a lapse of several years, around the hills and parks was filled with apple trees. By this history, apples were one of the important American life histories, so Apple Festival is a pledge of gratitude for Moravian.

North Carolina is the 7th largest apple-producing state in the nation now and Henderson County is the largest apple-producing county in North Carolina. The county grows 65 percent of all the apples grown in the state.
