Set to a backdrop of tunes by Irish band Mountain Dew, festivalgoers had plenty of apple products to try and entertainment to check out.
Pony rides, woodchopping, medieval displays and whip cracking were just some of the events on the day.
Not to mention a variety of competitions including Mrs T's bake-off, spin the longest thread and apple pie eating.
The day began at 9am, with the RFS helping to co-ordinate a free shuttle service between Marulan and Tallong.
Tallong Community Focus Group representative Chrissy Wursten said it was a great day for families and the community.
"We received really good feedback, we just have a few toffee apples and things left over which we'll put up for sale over the next few days," she said.
Councillor Jason Shepherd, who attended the festival, said Goulburn-Mulwaree Council was proud to have supported such an incredible event.
The festival was aided by a $15,000 grant from the state's Reconnecting Regional NSW - Community Events grant allocation to Goulburn Mulwaree.
Ms Wursten said a wrap-up meeting will be held next week to reflect on this year's festival and to begin planning for next year.
"As the festival keeps getting bigger it's a lot of work for volunteers, so we're hoping to work more closely with council moving forward," Ms Wursten said.
