Norsk Eplefest celebrates apples, local food and the fruit-growing landscape around Gvarv in Mid-Telemark. The most recent market day was 26 September 2026. The organiser has not yet published a confirmed date or programme for 2027, so do not use the 2026 date when booking next autumn’s trip.
What to check for the next Apple Festival
The official festival website publishes the current date, market information and programme. Check it before arranging travel: the market day, any exhibitions, activities and opening times can change from year to year. The 2026 programme is historical information, not a promise for 2027.

Turn the festival into an autumn stay
Past editions brought together growers, makers, food stalls and cultural activities in Gvarv. You can leave time for local farm shops and a drive through the fruit villages, but check each business’s own opening hours. September weather can be cool and wet; practical shoes and a flexible plan help if you are travelling with children.
