​What’s New at the 2021 Bloom – Part Two!!

The 94th Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival® will look much different due to COVID-19 restrictions.  The Festival is working and planning under a new set of rules that will result in temporary changes for 2021.  Current statewide restrictions on indoor and outdoor gatherings limit the Festival’s ability to plan major events.  Many largescale indoor events will transition outdoors under multiple tents at the Frederick County Fairgrounds.  The Festival will scale back ticket availability to comply with the Governor’s Forward Virginia Phase 3 requirements and participation limits.  Event goers should expect to follow CDC guidelines and mandates in order to participate in events.  Specific changes to the Festival schedule will be made available in the Festival’s What’s New for 2021 series of press releases in the coming weeks.
