Vancouver’s UBC Apple Festival

If you enjoy the crisp flavors of fall, Vancouver’s UBC Apple Festival offers a chance to taste dozens of BC-grown apple varieties in a lively setting. The event takes place in the UBC Botanical Garden, where you can wander through colorful autumn gardens while listening to live music and watching family-friendly entertainment. It’s a relaxed way to spend a day outdoors, whether you’re with friends, family, or exploring solo. Alongside the tastings, a market sells fresh apples, apple trees, and other local products, making it easy to bring a bit of the harvest home. The festival’s mix of sights, sounds, and flavors creates a welcoming experience for both casual visitors and apple enthusiasts. You might find yourself chatting with fellow attendees over a favorite variety or discovering new tastes you hadn’t tried before. The event supports the garden’s programs, adding a meaningful layer to your visit. It’s a simple celebration of the season that feels both festive and down-to-earth.
