CIDER SWIG - Cider Festival

THE CIDERS & MORE RETURN FOR YEAR 13!

Get ready — Cider Swig returns Saturday, September 26th for its 13th year of music, makers, cider, food, games, and community fun!

Join us for a full day featuring 130+ ciders and beverages from 30+ regional makers, fantastic live music, contests and games, local artisan vendors, delicious food trucks, and plenty of family-friendly fun.

Since its humble beginnings, Cider Swig has featured more than 1,000 craft ciders from across the Pacific Northwest and beyond, alongside locally crafted wines, meads, spirits, beers, kombucha, coffee, juices, and other regional beverages. Whether you sip hard cider, prefer a craft mocktail, or simply come for the atmosphere, there is something for everyone at Cider Swig.

Rooted in a love for local flavor and a deep commitment to community and the environment, Cider Swig is your chance to meet the makers, discover new favorites, and even take home select beverages from the Pop-Up Bottle Shop.

Cider Swig is fully family friendly this year, with an integrated fairground-style festival atmosphere throughout the event grounds. Families can enjoy live music, midway games, food trucks, artisan vendors, cider, wine, spirits, and non-alcoholic beverages together in one shared festival experience. Additional kids’ activities and optional paid supervised child watch will also be available.

And, the competitions are legendary!
