The Royal Gala has been the unofficial opening of the festival week, remembering the  roots of our apple industry and its economic importance and social impact on our area.  The Royal Gala promises to be an evening filled with nostalgia. MSAHF President, Susan Snowden, will reflect upon the festival's rich history and share appreciation for all the people who have helped make this event a success over the decades.

 

The evening will include recognition of our sponsors, a formal presentation of the 2025 Honored West Virginian, the farewell address of 2024 Queen Pomona and the introduction of the 2025 Court.  Please join us for this celebratory event in the Hollywood Ballroom at Charles Town Races.
