5th Annual CIDER SWIG - the Greater Peninsula Cider Festival
THE CIDERS ARE COMING!
The Cider Swig returns to Gig Harbor with dozens of regional ciders to sip, live music and entertainment on two stages, the 3rd annual Apple Pie Contest, apple launching, award winning delectable "curbside cuisine" by area chefs, restaurants and food trucks, the Apple Carnivàle, Applet Drop-off/Kids Zone, and more!
Join the fun at the Cider Swig, one of the largest cider-centered festivals in the Pacific Northwest.
This year over 25 participating Northwest cidermakers will showcase nearly 100 ciders (and relatives). The Apple Carnivàle returns, bigger and better - replete with street artists, dancers, an array of carnival games, an inflatable obstacle course, face painting, Apple Launching, cider demonstrations/talks by area experts, and more.
Ciders presented for sampling in the Cider Garden, sponsored by UPTOWN Gig Harbor, will be for sale under the Cider Tent, so you can take your favorite ciders home to enjoy!
Eight amazing food trucks will be on hand to satisfy your hunger, including Southern barbeque from Smokin Robinson's BBQ, wood-fired pies by The Rolling Crust, Mexican cuisine from Burrito Boy, coffee and donuts like you've never seen by TnT Espresso & Mini Donuts, gourmet dogs and sausages from Hot Diggity Dogs, and other great "curbside cuisine" will be provided by area restaurants and food trucks.
