SEPTEMBER 19-21, 2025: THE TRADITIONAL WEEKEND!

SEPTEMBER 27-28, 2025: ALL ABOUT APPLES!

Nebraska City’s historic AppleJack Festival annually draws between 60,000 and 80,000 people to Nebraska City to celebrate the apple harvest. We are spreading the celebration out over two weekends during the harvest season, not just on one three-day stretch.

We invite you to come anytime this autumn for our 58th AppleJack Festival! It kicks off Friday, September 19, and lasts until the final apple is eaten.

Traditional Weekend Highlights:
Orchards
AppleJack Fun Run
Extreme Bull Riding Tour
Parade
Water Barrel Fights
Flea Market
Craft Shows & Vendor Fairs
Car Show
