What

Your ticket includes entry into the festival, a souvenir Maryland Cider Festival tasting glass, and unlimited samples from any of the ten participating cider producers. Food and crafts will be available for purchase from a mix of local artisans and food trucks, and there will be live music.

Maryland’s cider makers craft many styles of ciders, ranging from bone dry still cider reminiscent of colonial times to carbonated, fruit-forward, modern styles. Some products are varietal, using only one type of heritage apples while other offerings contain apples blended with other fruit and spices for a different taste experience. There even are perries (like cider but made with pears) and apple-based dessert wines.
