The Bayfield Apple Festival is currently accepting applications for the 2023 Apple Festival happening October 6-8, 2023. 

The Bayfield Apple Festival got its start when the local orchards began bringing their apples to downtown Bayfield to sell to visitors. Now in its 61st year, the festival draws approximately 60,000 people over the course of the three-day event to the city of Bayfield.

The festival’s attractions are many: an arts and crafts fair, grand parade, apple peeling and pie contests, raffles, staged and street entertainment, kids’ carnival and contests, dances, live music, and a large variety of food items.

We are careful in our selection process to ensure that the offerings are not repetitious, resulting in higher sales for those vendors accepted into the festival.

Please read and fill out the following applications carefully. 

If paying via check, please print and mail applications and check to:  
Bayfield Chamber and Visitor Bureau
PO Box 138 
Bayfield, WI 54814

*If paying via credit card, please call the Bayfield Chamber at 715-779-3335 to complete your transaction. 

*Applications will be accepted until full. Please apply by June 1 for preferred placement.
