Welcome to the 35th Annual Apple Festival at UBC Botanical Garden

We’re back! A family event for all ages, UBC Apple Festival celebrates one of BC’s favourite fruits. From learning about the diversity of apples to tasting rare and unusual varieties, Apple Festival is a great opportunity to discover more about this delicious fruit.

Organized by the Friends of the Garden, this event is a fundraiser that directly supports education, research and conservation at UBC Botanical Garden.

Tickets go on sale October 1st, with an exclusive Early Bird sale on September 16th – keep your eyes peeled! 🍎


Events like Apple Festival wouldn’t be possible without our volunteers. Help with selling apples and trees, apple cider, apple pies, the apple display, the Tasting Tent and more.
