The story

Apple Festival Quba in Quba

Quba, home to roughly 14,000 hectares of apple orchards and Azerbaijan's horticultural center, has held the Apple Festival, or Alma Bayrami, annually since 2012. Timed to the harvest, it features variety exhibitions, competitions for the biggest and sweetest apples, folk performances, and food stalls celebrating the district's fruit-growing identity.

Quba's orchards cover roughly 14,000 of the nearly 22,000 hectares of apple cultivation across the wider Guba-Khachmaz economic region, making the district Azerbaijan's horticultural center and the natural home for a festival built entirely around the fruit.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Competitive categories give the festival its character: prizes go to the biggest apple, the sweetest apple, and the most successful farmer, rewarding genuine local growers rather than staging a purely commercial trade show

02

The mystery stays covered

Exhibition tables display the range of apple varieties cultivated across Quba's roughly 14,000 hectares of orchards, alongside juices, preserves, and baked goods made from them

03

The city starts moving

Because the celebration extends to other regional fruit crops as well, visitors encounter a broader harvest showcase than the 'apple' name alone suggests
