53rd Annual Gravenstein Apple Fair in Sebastopol (Aug 8-9)

53rd Annual Gravenstein Apple Fair in Sebastopol (Aug 8-9)

The beloved Sonoma County tradition returns for two days of apples, live music, farm fun, artisan goods, and local food and drink.

The 53rd annual Gravenstein Apple Fair returns to Ragle Ranch Regional Park in Sebastopol on Saturday and Sunday, August 8-9, 2026, for a two-day celebration of Sonoma County’s agricultural roots.

The longtime summer tradition draws around 16,000 people each year with a mix of live music, local food and drink, farm experiences, artisan vendors, kids’ activities, and plenty of Gravenstein apples.

The music lineup includes Royal Jelly Jive, Marty O’Reilly, Miko Marks, and LA GENTE SF, performing on the Main Stage throughout the weekend.

Apple Alley is the place to go for the fair’s namesake fruit, with fresh-picked organic Gravensteins alongside apple pies, fritters, juice, sauce, caramels, and other apple treats. There will also be chef-driven food featuring seasonal ingredients, plus Sonoma County cider, wine, craft beer, and nonalcoholic drinks.

Families can check out Life on the Farm, with animals and hands-on agricultural activities, while the Kids’ Area features crafts, singalongs, and contests. The popular Ag Games bring farm-inspired competitions for kids and grown-ups, including the famously adorable piglet races.

The fair also features a marketplace filled with local farmers, artisans, and makers.

For an additional fee, the Artisan Tasting Grove offers tastings from more than 30 local farmers and artisan producers in a shaded redwood setting. A VIP package includes the tasting grove plus a private lounge, premium Main Stage views, hosted bars, food, lawn games, and private restrooms.
