September 22, 2018, marks the fifth annual celebration of Avila’s apple-growing heritage with the Avila Apple Festival. Avila’s See Canyon has a long history of apple growing. Originally planted by James Brown in the late 1800’s, the See Canyon is currently home to more than 75 varieties of apples, including both common and heirloom varieties.
The Avila Apple Festival Gala Dinner, organized by the Avila Beach Civic Association, celebrates this long farming heritage with a multi-course dinner highlighting local apples. On Saturday, September 22, from 5-9 p.m., visitors will enjoy an evening under the stars of live music, wine tastings by Avila Wine Trail, a multi-course, apple-inspired menu, and live and silent auctions. All proceeds will support the Avila Beach Community Center. This event is for guests 21 and over only and will be held in the Avila Beach Community Center Garden. Tickets are $100 per person and tables of 8 for $800.
