Cider Summit returns to Seattle this September



It became an annual tradition for Seattle’s cider lovers, and then the pandemic. Like so many events of its type, Cider Summit Seattle took a two-year hiatus while we all focused on other, less entertaining things. But now Seattle’s biggest cider fest is back! Cider Summit Seattle returns to the shores of Lake Union on September 9th and 10th. General admission and VIP tickets are on sale now.

More than 50 cider producers will pour more than 150 different ciders, meads, cider cocktails, and apple spirits. The event takes place at Lake Union Park. Here are all the details straight from the event organizers.
