Apple Festival Queen and/or King
For 63 years, the Apple Festival Committee has picked a high school student with ties to the orchards.
On Saturday, October 3, the community is invited to line the streets of Rittenhouse Avenue to congratulate the King and/or Queen in a procession to the coronation. (The Bayfield Lakeside Pavilion will be the rain location.)
Queen Procession: 6:45 p.m. October 3
Coronation: 7:00 p.m. at Bayfield Memorial Park.
Congratulations to the 2025 Apple Festival Queen
Madison Galazen, North Wind Organic Farm
Madison is a third-generation Galazen from North Wind Organic Farm.
Her favorite memories include helping her grandfather on the farm and at the Madeline Island Farmer’s Market.
She will be a Junior at Washburn High School and is excited to represent Bayfield as the 63rd Apple Festival Queen!
You’ll have plenty of chances to see her during the festival — including the Queen Coronation and the Grand Parade.
Thank you to our 2025 Royalty Sponsor, Bodin's Inc.
