An a-peel-ing Festival downtown St. George

Do you happen to like apples and festivals? Even if you don’t, I bet you’d enjoy visiting the St George Apple Festival! Hence the name, there’s a bunch of things to do with apples! Also, make sure to come with an empty stomach because I bet you it will be full once you go home.

A Bunch of Apples

It can’t be an apple festival without apples! There was a big food truck that sold apple fritters (which were basically donuts that tasted almost exactly like apples) at the front of the event. It was very popular! I tried one of their frizzles which was the regular apple fritter but with ice cream and a drizzle of maple syrup. It was really awesome, I apple-laud your efforts (see what I did there?) But that wasn’t the only drizzle, you had a choice of caramel, butterscotch, fudge, and icing. They could’ve added more drizzles though… I’m only kidding, I’m apple-ling your leg! (there’s more where that came from).

If an apple a day keeps the doctor away, then people who attended last weekend’s Apple Fest in St. George should have no health concerns for months to come! Whether you enjoyed apple fritters, apple cider, candy apples or just a good old-fashioned apple by itself, there was an abundance of options at this popular festival.

Also close by was the Olde Tyme Kettle Kitchen selling not only fudge but also caramel and candy apples! Their products are handmade in St Jacobs, Ontario which is only around 40 minutes away from St George! Did you know that candy apples are usually enjoyed as a treat in the fall when apples are in their prime, mostly during festive occasions or events like this fair? It all makes sense in the end!
