Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival® Announces Tickets Now On Sale & A New Clear Bag Policy

The Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival® is pleased to announce that tickets for many 2026 Festival events are now available to the general public. Tickets can be purchased here.

The Festival also wishes to inform attendees of a new Clear Bag Policy being implemented this year to enhance safety and improve entry efficiency. Guests may bring clear bags no larger than 14” x 9” or a one-gallon clear plastic storage bag. Traditional purses, backpacks, fanny packs, camera bags, and any opaque bags larger than the approved size will not be permitted. Prohibited items include weapons of any kind, outside food and beverages, alcohol, illegal drugs, coolers, bottles, cans, and aerosol containers. Diaper bags and medically necessary items will be allowed following proper inspection. Attendees are encouraged to plan ahead to ensure a smooth experience.

Clear Bag Policy

Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and enjoyable environment for all Festival guests. We look forward to celebrating with you this spring!
