If you’re looking for something that actually feels like spring (not just another busy event), this one is worth the short drive up to Oak Glen. The Apple Blossom Festival is happening over two weekends, April 18, 19, 25, and 26, and it’s an easy, low-pressure family outing where you can just show up and wander. No tickets to worry about, no packed schedule to follow, just fresh air, pretty views, and a lot for the kids to explore.
What to Expect
This isn’t a huge, overwhelming festival. It’s more relaxed and spread out, which honestly makes it easier with kids.
You’ll find:
- Live music playing throughout the day
- A pop-up market to browse
- Kids crafts and simple hands-on activities
- Lawn games (great for burning off energy)
- Orchard walks through blooming apple trees
- Carriage rides and a petting zoo over at Little Seedling Ranch
- Seed planting classes for kids
There’s also cider tasting and tours if you want to make it a little more fun for the adults too.
Why It’s a Good Family Pick
What I like about this one is that it’s very come-and-go. You don’t have to commit to a full day if you don’t want to.
You can:
- Walk the orchards
- Let the kids play for a bit
- Grab something to eat nearby
- Head out when everyone’s done
And because it’s outdoors and spread across the ranch, it never feels too crowded or chaotic.
Quick Tip Before You Go
Since it’s an outdoor event with a lot of moving parts, it’s always smart to check their social media pages before heading out for any updates or changes to activities.
Also, keep in mind Oak Glen is usually a little cooler than down the hill, so bringing a light layer is never a bad idea.
