Downtown Sandpoint’s annual Apple Fest is back on Saturday, October 18, 2025, bringing the community together with seasonal fun, apple-themed activities, and unbeatable local shopping. Hosted by the Downtown Sandpoint Shopping District, the festival features 40 participating retailers and restaurants, including favorites and new additions like Aspen and Stone At Home, Verdant Plants, Vintage Revival, and Paneah’s.

Visitors can grab a passport at any participating business and explore shops divided into four quadrants. Those who complete their passport by visiting one store in each quadrant and turning it in at a participating restaurant by 6 pm will be entered to win $1,000 in gift cards.

For hands-on fun, stop by Cedar Street Bridge to try the always-popular apple slingshot, launching apples into Sand Creek, or join the friendly competition at the apple pie contest by submitting two pies before 9 a.m. Judging begins at 11 a.m.

With the tourists gone, fall is the perfect time for locals to rediscover downtown. “The trees are starting to turn—it’s beautiful. The weather’s gorgeous and there’s a lot of really neat stuff,” says Downtown Manager Leilani Williams.
