Fall is just around the corner, and with it comes one of Julian’s most beloved events: the Julian Autumn Jubilee. Returning to Fort Cross from September 20 to October 26, 2025, this festival coincides with peak apple season, promising weekends full of flavor, laughter, and rustic traditions.
Fun from Morning to Evening
Every Saturday and Sunday, Fort Cross transforms into an adventure playground for all ages. Guests can enjoy wagon rides, apple cider pressing, live music, archery and axe throwing, slingshot games, treasure hunts, and much more.
Animal and reptile encounters offer thrills for the curious, while children can explore a giant pumpkin patch (and pick their favorite), play games, and enjoy endless activities designed just for them.
Autumn Jubilee Hours
- Saturdays: 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
- Sundays: 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
The Julian Autumn Jubilee takes place at Fort Cross Old Timey Adventures, 4425 CA-78, Santa Ysabel, CA, just minutes from the charming town of Julian.
Taste the Season
Imagine crisp mountain air, landscapes painted in golden and red hues, the crunch of leaves underfoot, and the unmistakable flavor of freshly harvested apples. That’s the essence of the Julian Autumn Jubilee: a festival celebrating the best of the season in a cozy, joyful atmosphere.
Grab your favorite sweater, gather friends or family, and head out to celebrate fall among pumpkins, apples, and endless fun!
