Downtown Apex alone hosts about one festival a month, and there are even more events happening throughout the town on any given weekend. As heritage is important to Apex residents, cultural events are the most popular, from Apex Founders Day in March to the Apex Latino Arts Festival in June. When Apex was named #1 Best Place to Live in 2015, the town celebrated with Peak-a-Palooza. Other popular events you don’t want to miss include Peakfest, Peak City Pig Fest, and Christmas on Salem Street.
