If you are visiting the Unicoi County Apple Festival in Erwin, TN on October 2nd & 3rd, 2026, come enjoy one of the closest and largest all day parking lots available for the event!
Located within one street of one of the main music stages, a large food court, and many of the best vendor booths we have one of the most convenient locations to beat the crowds and have easy access to bring purchased items back to your vehicle throughout the day without needing a shuttle or long walk.
For $10/day you can pay once and come and go as much as you’d like throughout the day without paying again. Both the parking lot and field lot will be available for paid parking from 8am-4pm.
After 4pm until the festival ends around 8pm, the parking lots will remain open for FREE parking as space is available. Additionally, we do not charge anything for the street parking around our church building, but it fills up fast so plan to arrive early for that. Or if you need close parking due to a disability and can’t afford to pay, just let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate your needs.
All money raised will help cover the cost of our youth group’s winter trip to the Tennessee Christian Teen Convention in Gatlinburg (www.tctcinfo.com).
