The Apple Valley Mid-Winter Fest is a two-day celebration of winter in Apple Valley. This annual festival began in 1978 with only a few activities and perhaps 100 participants.

Some of the activities have included Senior Royalty Coronation, Snow Softball & Volleyball Tournaments, Medallion Hunt, Hay Rides, Door Prize Drawings, Snow Tubing, Sled Dog Rides and much, much more.

We feel that the citizens of Apple Valley and neighboring communities should take advantage of this situation by participating in the winter activities that are available in our community. Rather than hide from winter, people should go out and have fun in it. We encourage everyone to live by the Mid-Winter Fest credo: DON'T
