44th Annual Apex PeakFest

PeakFest, Apex's largest annual festival, returns for its 44th year on Saturday, May 3, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Historic Downtown Apex. This vibrant street fair transforms Salem Street into a bustling hub of arts, crafts, food, and entertainment, attracting over 15,000 attendees each year.

Event highlights include a wide variety of arts and crafts vendors, live entertainment across two stages, a dedicated kids zone with inflatables and activities, and a diverse selection of food booths and food trucks.

Free street parking is available, with additional accessible parking near the Halle Cultural Arts Center. Salem Street from Hunter Street to NC 55 will be closed from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. on the day of the festival. For safety and comfort, pets are not allowed within the festival boundaries.

PeakFest is organized by the Apex Festival Commission and is not a Town of Apex-hosted event.
