PORT TOWNSEND — Summer Cider Day will offer some 60 ciders for sipping, live music and food from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday.
The fifth annual celebration, which is hosted by the Northwest Cider Association, will be at the Northwest Maritime Center, 431 Water St.
Seventeen cideries from Washington state and Oregon — including Alpenfire Cider, Eaglemount Cider and Finnriver Farm & Cidery of East Jefferson County — will provide tastes of their wares.
Tickets are $25 in advance at www.nwcider.com or $30 at the door and include admission for one person, 10 tasting tickets and a keepsake Northwest Cider Association glass.
Additional taste tickets, food from Sirens Pub of Port Townsend and bottles of most of the featured ciders will be available for purchase.
Bluegrass music
The Whisky Minstrels will perform bluegrass music.
“It’s been really exciting to see Summer Cider Day grow and evolve year over year as cider continues to gain in popularity,” said Sherrye Wyatt, executive director of the Northwest Cider Association.
“This is one of the largest cider-tasting events in Washington state and has helped establish the Northwest as a nationally recognized cider region.”
