6th Annual CIDER SWIG - the Greater Peninsula Cider Festival
THE CIDERS ARE COMING!
THE CIDERS RETURN FOR THE 6th ANNUAL CIDER SWIG!
The Cider Swig returns to Gig Harbor with dozens of regional ciders to sip, live music and entertainment on two stages, the annual "Battle of the Pie" Contest, apple launching, award winning delectable "curbside cuisine" by area chefs, restaurants and food trucks, the Kids Applet Drop-off Center, and more!
Northwest cidermakers will present over 100 ciders (and related libations). The popular Apple Carnivàle returns - replete with performers, arts and crafts, dancers, an array of carnival games, inflatable obstacle course, sticky wall, face painting, apple launching, demonstrations, and other fun and games.
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!
Come Get your Swig On!

OTHER FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS
This is an accessible family-fun and dog-friendly event. Dogs are required to be on leash and under the control of their owners at all times.
Music: American Idol star and Fox Island native, Ruthie Craft; contemporary rock and a little bit country band Sounds Like Dolores will get you up a dancin; singer, songwriter, pianist, and Gig Harbor native Maddy Dullum; and accomplished composer and lyricist Kristen Marlo, whos broad appeal is reflected in the different artists she has opened for including Sara Bareilles, Allen Stone, The Bravery, and Eric Church.
