Katy at UBC

It’s the Apple Fest this weekend!

Man, it’s kind of embarrassing how excited I get for this festival every year. After all, it’s just apples, right? I’m not sure why I get so excited for this, maybe it’s because I’ve been going every year since I was little. Also, as I mentioned last year, they have the BEST apple pies there.

Since I consider myself kind of a pro at going to the Apple Fest, I’d like to share with you a couple of tips I’ve learned over the years:

1. If you’re planning on buying lots of apples, I’d recommend bringing a backpack. It’s a little unwieldy carrying several bags of apples and jugs of apple cider back to the car without one.
2. There’s an area where you can check your bags (backpack) full of apples – use it. That way you don’t have to carry your bag for a long period of time. I can’t remember if it costs money though.
3. Get there early. This is especially true if you plan on going to the apple tasting, because tickets always sell out super fast. (Unless you don’t mind waiting an hour for the next available tasting.)
4. Buy an apple pie from the Golden Crust people. Seriously.
5. If it rains that day, make sure to wear rain boots, because the ground in the gardens gets pretty muddy
