Ciderfest 2026: A Seasonal Cider Celebration
About this Event
Join us for Ciderfest at Artifact Events, a fall tasting event celebrating all things cider.
Spend the evening sampling a wide variety of local, regional, and national cider brands, with pours ranging from modern fruit-forward styles to more traditional ciders made with heritage and multi-use apples. Guests will have the chance to explore different cider styles, ingredients, and fermentation approaches while enjoying a festive fall atmosphere inside one of Chicago’s most distinctive event spaces.
Tickets include cider tastings and a commemorative tasting glass.
Food will be available for purchase, including gluten-free options.
This is a 21+ event. Dogs are welcome.
