Johnny Appleseed Days

Collage of apples, attendees, vendors, performers, and pies from Johnny Appleseed Days

First held in 1888, the fair now known as Johnny Appleseed Days is the oldest harvest in the state!  In 2015 we celebrated the 127th anniversary of this treasured Paradise tradition, sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce since 1937.  The two-day fall festival celebrates Paradise's apple heritage with homemade apple pie and ice cream during the first weekend in October. Paradise residents and Members of the Paradise Ridge Chamber of Commerce bake one thousand apple pies, available whole and in slices.

Local businesses give demonstrations and display their wares, and Paradise will host artisans from all over the state and beyond selling a variety of handicrafts.  

The popular children's area will feature face painting, games for the young and old alike and prizes.  Johnny Appleseed visits and tells stories.
