THE CIDERS RETURN FOR THE 5th 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 3rd annual Apple Pie Contest, apple launching, award winning delectable "curbside cuisine" by area chefs, restaurants and food trucks, the Apple Carnivàle & Kids Zone, and more!
Northwest cidermakers will present nearly 100 ciders (and relatives). And, the Apple Carnivàle returns - 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.
Come Get your Swig On!
Early bird tickets on sale through June 22 - just $23.50.
Ticket includes: 5 drink tokens, 6 oz. festival glass, and access to all live music and entertainment, food, the Apple Carnivàle Zone, and other festival activities.

**Each year the Cider Swig brings thousands from around the region to enjoy ciders, great food, live music and family fun. And, each year the Cider Swig sells out! Advance ticket purchase is strongly encouraged.**
