What started as a community day in a parking lot in 1980, continues today as a celebration of community. Our footprint is larger- with more artisans, musicians, dancers, entertainers & sponsors; but the heart remained the same. Attendees experience the joy & familiarity of feeling connected to their community. Make plans now to join us. The event is always the first Saturday in May, along the streets of Historic Downtown Apex. There's always something new to discover. Learn about organizations making a difference in the Peak & sponsors that support their communities. Connect with familiar faces and make new friends.The attraction Apex offers residents & visitors, as the Peak of Good Living, is experienced by attendees of the festival each May. Come as a stranger, but leave as a friend! That's community.
