10th Annual Cider Swig - The Greater Peninsula Cider Festival

Arts and Entertainment

August 10, 2023

From: Cider Swig- the Greater Peninsula Cider Festival

The Cider Swig returns for an amazing 10th year with dozens of Northwest ciders to sip, great live music, contests and games, artisan vendors, and delectable "curbside cuisine" by area chefs and their food trucks!

The tasting event showcases more than 130 NW ciders, in addition to wine, mead, beer, spirits, and other regionally crafted libations. Born out of a commitment to community and the environment, and the love for local flavor, Cider Swig connects festival goers directly with the makers. And, you can take your favorites to enjoy at home, from the Swig's Pop-up Bottle Shop!

Beyond sharing cider and other local/regional crafted sips with the masses, Washington’s largest single day cider-centered festival highlights our region's agricultural heritage, reinforces community friendships, promotes local businesses, agricultural and environmental organizations, and showcases regional talent throughout the day.
