🍎 Apple Fest by the Numbers

Did you know?

It takes approximately 1,350 volunteer hours to organize St. George Apple Fest each year! ❤️

Behind the festival is a dedicated team of 8 volunteer Board Directors and 12 volunteer coordinators, along with up to 100 adult and youth volunteers who help throughout Apple Fest weekend.

And some of those volunteers have been part of Apple Fest for more than 20 years!

From months of planning and preparation to everything happening behind the scenes during festival weekend, Apple Fest simply wouldn't be possible without the incredible people who give their time to make it happen.

🍏 Stay tuned for more Apple Fest by the Numbers facts and stats as we count down to September 19 & 20!
