Centennial Extravaganza Set for April 23 – May 2, 2027

The Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival® is excited to announce that planning is officially underway for a historic milestone — the 100th Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival^®, taking place April 23 through May 2, 2027.

For a century, the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival has brought together families, friends, visitors, businesses, volunteers and communities throughout the Winchester and Shenandoah Valley region to celebrate spring, agriculture, community spirit and the traditions that make the Festival unique.

The 100th Festival — a Centennial Extravaganza — will honor that remarkable history while looking toward the future with a celebration that combines beloved Festival traditions with exciting new events and experiences.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime milestone for the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival^® and for our entire community,” said Bridget Aikens, Festival President. “100 years ago, a simple idea was rooted here in the Shenandoah Valley: to celebrate our orchards and the beauty of springtime. For the past century, generations of people have played a role in making the Festival what it is today; that small celebration from 1924 blossomed into something truly extraordinary. Our Centennial celebration will be a tribute to those individuals, families, businesses, volunteers and communities who have helped make the Festival a cherished Shenandoah Valley tradition.”

Planning is already underway, and the Festival has ambitious goals for its Centennial year. To bring these special projects and experiences to life, community and corporate support will be more important than ever.

Supporters and fans of the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival^® are asked to become financial contributors to the Centennial celebration.
