Sep 23 @ 11:30 am – 5:00 pm

CIDER SWIG, Washington’s largest one-day cider-centered festival, is BACK! Come for a day of cider (and more) sippin fun, meet the makers, join in a competition or two, enjoy great eats and live music throughout the day!

THE CIDERS RETURN FOR THE 10th ANNUAL CIDER SWIG!

Cider Swig returns with dozens of Northwest ciders to sip, live music, contests and games, and award winning “curbside cuisine” by area chefs and their food trucks!

The tasting event will showcase more than 130 Northwest ciders in addition to wine, mead, beer 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, the?Swig’s Pop-up Bottle Shop is back, so you can take your favorites home to enjoy.

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.

We are excited to be back LIVE and have an amazing line-up for the 10th annual Cider Swig.

COME GET YOUR SWIG ON!

Each Ticket includes: Festival tasting glass, 8 drink tickets, re-entry pass, live music and entertainment, access to food trucks, pop-up bottle shop, vendors, and all other festival activities – and an awesome time!? Additional tokens are available at the event. 21+ event.
