Cider Swig

Get ready — Cider Swig is back for its 14th amazing year, and we’re coming in BIG and bringing back whole family fun!!

Join us for a full day of fun featuring 130+ ciders (and more!) to sip, fantastic live music, contests and games, local artisan vendors, mouthwatering curbside cuisine… and the first ever — Kid’s Market!

Since its humble beginnings, Cider Swig has poured over 1,000 craft ciders from across the PNW and a bit beyond (like you know … Vermont), alongside locally crafted wines, meads, brews, spirits, kombucha, coffee, juices, and other regional libations. 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 and even take home your favorites from the Pop-up Bottle Shop.

But wait — there’s more than just eating, music and sipping!

Family‑fun is back at the festival! Want to slip away for an hour in the Cider Garden? We’ve got you covered! While you enjoy some tasting time, kids ages 2–12 can have a blast in the Applet Activity Center — crafting, playing games, enjoying snacks, and more. The fun is fully staffed and supervised by the amazing team from Curious By Nature School.
