The upcoming Tehachapi Apple Festival, set for October 11, promises to be a vibrant celebration for the community, featuring a variety of family-friendly activities and local entertainment. The festival will run from 10 AM to 6 PM in downtown Tehachapi, specifically on Green Street, and is expected to draw residents and visitors alike.

A significant highlight of this year’s festival is the support from local sponsors, particularly BHE Renewables, which has provided crucial funding to help organize the event. Organizers expressed gratitude for the community's collaborative spirit, noting that other local businesses, such as WM, are contributing by donating essential services like trash disposal and portable restrooms.

The festival will include a 5K run, with both pre-registration and walk-up registration options available. Tickets for the event are priced at $30 and can be purchased through Eventbrite or the festival's social media pages. Attendees can look forward to a range of activities, including a health fair and a breast cancer awareness walk, alongside the chamber's fall carnival and a "Touch a Truck" event hosted by TMRA.

Live music will also be a key feature, with local bands performing in Centennial Plaza, providing a platform for local talent to shine. Organizers encourage the community to stay updated through their social media channels, where they will share details about the festival and its performers.

As the festival approaches, excitement is building within the community, with many looking forward to enjoying the fall weather and the festive atmosphere. The Tehachapi Apple Festival not only celebrates the season but also fosters community spirit and local engagement.
