Ellijay Marketplace

Apple Orchards

Nicknamed "Georgia's Apple Capital," Ellijay hosts the annual Georgia Apple Festival in the fall at the Ellijay Lions Club Fairgrounds. Hours: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., (two weekends in Oct.). Over 50 varieties of apples are grown in the region. Highway 51, known as "Apple Orchard Alley," is the place to go for fresh-from-the-tree apples!

North Georgia is a fun place to live and visit any time of year but summer is especially exciting! Be sure to stop by Ellijay Marketplace for a boost of Southern hospitality and fun shopping! We host auctions the first and third Friday's of the month at 6:30 pm. Also, check out our Consignment Warehouse, indoor shops and outdoor flea market for great deals!
