The 12th Annual CIDER SWIG, Washington’s largest one-day cider-centered festival RETURNS! Come for a day of cider (and more) sippin’ fun, meet the makers, join in a competition or two, try award winning "curbside cuisine" by area chefs and their food trucks, and enjoy live music throughout the day!
The tasting event will showcase more than 130 Northwest 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, the Swig's Pop-up Bottle Shop is back, so you can take your favorites home to enjoy.
The festival highlights our region's agricultural heritage, reinforces community friendships, promotes local businesses, agricultural and environmental organizations, and showcases regional talent throughout the day.
A family area includes the Children's Entrepreneur Market (Free) and a Kids Dropoff Area (Fee) to allow adults to sample beverages in the 21+ area.
Proceeds benefit the Greater Gig Harbor Foundation’s Lu Winsor Environmental grants program, which has provided more than $350,000 in grants to area schools and organizations within the KGI watershed for projects focused on environmental education, land conservation, and stewardship initiatives over the past decade plus.
