Apple festival

Come and enjoy the apple festival in Saint-Paul en Chablais. This great festival is synonymous with autumn, and features apples in all their forms: to eat, in juice, in pastries, as well as games, workshops and concerts.

What's New in 2026! This year, the Apple Festival welcomes:

• Bell Ringers For the first time, bell ringers will fill the heart of the Apple Festival with the sound of their bells. Performing at various times throughout the day, they’ll add an authentic and spectacular touch, directly inspired by mountain traditions.
• An Introduction to Leatherworking: Children can discover this artisanal craft through an introductory leatherworking workshop. This hands-on, fun activity lets them explore the techniques and materials while creating their own small project.
• Le Centre du Vivant The association Le Centre du Vivant is joining the Apple Festival this year. Through activities accessible to young and old alike, it will invite visitors to observe, understand, and learn more about the living world around us.
• Cocktail des Montagnes This year, Cocktail des Montagnes is joining the Fête de la Pomme’s musical lineup. The band will entertain visitors throughout the afternoon with several musical sets, alternating between outdoor performances and the Gavotine Hall.

This lineup complements the festival’s must-see events, including the Écho de Gavot concert, the Archers’ demonstrations, and story readings.
