The Annual AppleJack Festival celebrates the apple harvest in historic Nebraska City. Two Weekends. One Legendary Celebration. Infinite Apples. Nebraska City's AppleJack Festival is ripening into two full weekends of crisp fall fun — and you’re invited to take a big juicy bite out of the celebration! Named one of America’s Best Fall Harvest Festivals by USA Today and a Top Fall Destination by HGTV, this iconic event draws up to 80,000 apple-lovers to our historic town — and for good reason. This year, we're stretching the festivities across two themed weekends starting Friday, September 19, and going until the last apple is crunched. 🍏 Weekend One: Traditional AppleJack: Get your classic fix of parades, apple pies, carnival rides, adrenaline-pumping bull riding, and all the nostalgic vibes. 🍎 Weekend Two: All About Apples: It's apple-palooza! Cider slushies, sip-and-stroll hard cider experience, caramel-covered everything, orchard tours, and more apple-y goodness than you thought possible. And why not throw in a little professional wrestling to spice things up?! Need more reasons to make a weekend of it? Our charming museums, boutique shopping, cozy lodging, and delicious eats will keep you entertained from morning cider to evening bonfire. Mark your calendars, grab your flannel, and let the apple adventures begin! See below for details on what’s happening in 2025!
