The Cider Swig, among the largest cider-centered festivals in the state, returns with dozens of regional ciders to sip, live music and entertainment on two stages, the 3rd annual “Battle of the Apple Pie” Contest, apple launching, award winning delectable “curbside cuisine” by area chefs, restaurants and food trucks, the Apple Carnivàle Zone, Kids Applet Center, and more!

  • When: September 29, 2018
  • Time: Noon to 5pm
  • Where: Sehmel Homestead Park, 10123 78th Ave NW, Gig Harbor, WA 98332

Northwest cidermakers will have nearly 100 ciders (and relatives) on hand for sipping. And, the Apple Carnivàle returns – replete with street artists, performers, an array of carnival games, an inflatable obstacle course, face painting, Apple Launching, cider demonstrations/talks by area experts, and other activities for the whole family.
