AA Munro & The Apple Blossom Festival

Celebrating every year from May to June with the festival is a long standing tradition in the Valley, dating back to 1933. The festival has been featured on a stamp from Canada Post as well as a sterling silver coin from the Canadian Mint.

Over the years, the festival has grown to include a variety of attractions. There’s the Valley Tea, the Blossom Breakfast, a leadership competition, a craft show, beer and cider tastings, a tractor pull, special entertainment for children, and even a fitness fair, among other events.

Since 2014, AA Munro Insurance has participated in this festival. Our volunteers have had many duties over the years, always while wearing our signature hot pink shirts! Handing out water and treats, directing the Grand Street Parade, and encouraging community spirit are just some of the activities we get up to.

In 2016, we received Apple Blossom’s Volunteer Group of the Year award at a ceremony with the Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia. The award is a newly established effort to recognize the many wonderful individuals who help make the festival a success.

“When the Board wondered who should it be, the first thing out of my mouth was AA Munro,” said Gary Long, Apple Blossom’s president. If you are interested in getting involved in the festival, the board is always looking for more volunteers and members.
