Download the complete Schedule of Events

The annual AppleJack Festival is hosted in Nebraska City, well-known for its apple orchards. It should be no surprise that our historic community celebrates the apple harvest all weekend long.

The CELEBRATION includes:
  • All-you-can-eat Pancake Feed.
  • AppleJam Fest was a great success last year and is sure to be a crowd-pleaser for people of all ages again this year.  Enjoy giant inflatable games, younger children’s games, face painting, live entertainment, and more.  We’re pleased to be bringing back Dance Dance Revolution, a sure crowd pleaser!  There will be shredded barbecue beef sandwiches, roasted nuts, and other great food and fun drinks.  This two-day event runs Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
  • Our biggest Parade of the year.  “40 Years & Still Having Fun” is the theme, and the parade features the Marching Band Competition.
  • Pick Your Own Apples. Check it out at Arbor Day Farm and Kimmel Orchard.
  • Car enthusiasts will not want to miss the AppleJack Car Show lining Central Avenue on Sunday, September 21.  Enjoy stock and modified cars, trucks, sports cars, and motorcycles.
  • Choose to walk or run in the AppleJack Fun Run/Walk sponsored by the Alpha Omega Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi.  Enjoy a 5-mile run/walk and don’t miss the 1-mile kids’ run.
  • Show your strengths at the AppleJack Strongman/Strongwoman Contest brought to you by the Ambassador Rehab & Wellness Center.  New this year will be a competition for kids. More information coming soon!

This is just a taste of all there will be to do and see AppleJack weekend!
