The Cider Swig Returns! Get Ready for the Ultimate Cider Experience

Imagine this: the crisp air of the Pacific Northwest, the rich aroma of freshly made cider, and a community of fun-loving people gathered together, celebrating all things delicious and local. It’s the kind of experience that stays with you long after the event, and this year’s Cider Swig is your chance to be part of it.

The 11th annual Cider Swig is returning with over 130 different varieties of cider, mead, wine, spirits, and craft beer, all carefully selected to excite your senses. You’ll be able to sip and sample some of the finest drinks the region has to offer, discovering hidden gems, and indulging in the kind of flavors you won’t find anywhere else. Just imagine the satisfaction of tasting your new favorite cider – one you can bring home with you from the Swig’s Pop-up Bottle Shop to share with friends or keep all to yourself.

This is More Than Just Cider

This is more than just a cider festival. It’s about immersing yourself in an unforgettable day of joy, flavors, and excitement. The energy of the crowd, the live music, the laughter of your friends – all blend together in the perfect atmosphere that makes Cider Swig so much more than just another event.

As you sip, award-winning food trucks are serving up local bites designed to perfectly complement your cider experience. Imagine biting into a dish so perfectly crafted, it feels like the food and drink were made for each other. Every flavor, every aroma, every bite is a new experience – a moment of pure indulgence.

Fun and Competition – Are You Up for It?

For those of you who like to add a little competition to your fun, this year’s Keg Toss, Apfelweingkrug (cider stein-holding), and Hammerschlagen are back and better than ever. This is your chance to prove your strength, skill, and endurance in front of a cheering crowd. Will you be the one who holds their cider stein the longest or throws that keg farther than anyone else? Now’s your chance to make your mark.

Don’t forget to check out the 6th Annual Battle of the Pies - Apple Pie Contest. Picture this: mouthwatering pies created by the region's best bakers, each one vying to be crowned the ultimate apple pie. It’s like a slice of heaven on a plate – and you get to be part of it.

More Than Just a Festival – It’s a Movement

But the Cider Swig is more than just an epic day of cider and fun – it’s an event with purpose. When you attend, you're supporting local businesses, farmers, and environmental programs. Each sip you take and each ticket you buy helps protect the watersheds and agricultural heritage of the Pacific Northwest. Your enjoyment isn’t just about the moment – it’s about leaving a lasting, positive impact on the place you call home.
