It is known and revered throughout Ohio and beyond,
the perfect fall festival, the quintessential
homecoming event. It is the Jackson County Apple
Festival. The Jackson County Apple Festival has
been welcoming people into Jackson from near and
far for 64 years and become one of the largest
and most respected festivals in Ohio. While there
have been many changes over the years, still
