Saturday, October 17, 2026, 10:00 AM – 4:30 PM

Celebrate the harvest season at Fort Ross State Historic Park on Saturday, October 17, 2026. Enjoy a day of apple picking, pumpkin carving, live music and performances, arts and crafts, family activities, local food and vendors, and guided tours of the historic orchard and San Andreas Fault.

The event is free, with the regular California State Parks $10 per vehicle parking fee. Shuttle service will be available between the main park parking lot and the orchard. Visitors with an ADA placard may park near the orchard. Guests may also drop off members of their party at the orchard before returning to the main parking area.

Coastal weather can change quickly, so bring a hat and dress in layers. For more information, visit www.fortross.org.
