The event promises sampling of ciders and seltzers from around the region and beyond on Harbor Drive, across from the William A. Irvin floating museum, and in Pioneer Hall.

  • Festive foods available for purchase, like build-your-own Charcuterie boards (with take-home branded boards)

    ABOUT

    Guests who purchase a ticket to the event will receive a Cider vs. Seltzer sampling glass, as well as unlimited samples of cider and seltzer from local, regional, and national brands. There will be food available for purchase.

    This will be an indoor/outdoor hybrid event, with multiple aspects taking place outdoors with unbeatable views of the Harbor, as well as the William A. Irvin in the background. Guests can relax while listening to live music or get a little competitive with yard games by the harbor (weather permitting- games will be moved indoors if needed).

    The popular Build-Your-Own charcuterie board make & take activity will return from the Cider North event for a separate, additional cost. Choose from an array of meats, cheeses, fruits, veggies, crackers, and more to create your own board. After finishing your board, either enjoy your beautiful snack with your cider or package it up to take home.
