The second annual PA Cider Fest is taking place on Saturday, June 24, and the inaugural Spirits of Maryland: Baltimore is happening on Sunday, June 25. These are two great drinking events that should not be missed.
PA Cider Fest
Cider makers from across Pennsylvania will converge on the rolling hills outside historic Gettysburg this summer for the second annual PA Cider Fest from 12 noon to 4 p.m. on June 24. The event gives cider enthusiasts and those new to the trending beverage a chance to sample dozens of cider varieties while enjoying great live entertainment and food trucks.
In addition, to its famed historic battlefield, Gettysburg has been coined “Cider Town” because of its growing hard cider industry.
Last year, the event attracted 1,200 people and even more are expect this year with the participation of more than 20 ciders makers. It will take place at Jack’s Hard Cider at Hauser Estate Winery and tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the gate, which includes admission and unlimited tastings.
