CIDERFEST Returns to Little Apple Cidery in Hillsdale
Celebrate apple season, local cider, music, food, and fall fun at Little Apple Cidery’s annual CIDERFEST on October 10 and 11.
Fall is the perfect time to celebrate apples, and Little Apple Cidery in Hillsdale is welcoming the season with its annual CIDERFEST, taking place Saturday, October 10, and Sunday, October 11, from 1–6 p.m.
Located at 178 Orchard Lane in Hillsdale, Little Apple Cidery offers a beautiful setting among the apple trees, making CIDERFEST a great way to enjoy the sights, flavors, and traditions of the fall harvest.
Celebrate the Apple Harvest
Visitors can enjoy Little Apple’s handcrafted ciders while taking in the autumn scenery and spending time in the orchard. The cidery produces cider from apples grown in its organic orchards, including traditional heirloom and cider varieties. Fresh-pressed organic apple cider is also available during the fall harvest season.
CIDERFEST will feature cider, food, music, games, prizes, and plenty of fall fun. Food vendors will include Aloha Tacos and Wildling Pizza, giving visitors a chance to enjoy a meal or snack alongside their cider.
Saturday's festivities will also include live music, with Frank Migliorelli & The Acoustic Dirt Nappers performing an afternoon set of Americana, acoustic, and singer-songwriter music.
A Fall Destination for the Whole Family
Little Apple Cidery is more than a place to enjoy cider. The orchard welcomes visitors to walk among the trees, enjoy the outdoors, and experience the agricultural landscape of the Hudson Valley. The seasonal Orchard Bar offers cider by the glass or flight, along with non-alcoholic sparkling cider, local beer, and other provisions.
CIDERFEST is a wonderful opportunity to shop local, support a Hudson Valley farm business, and celebrate the apple harvest with family and friends.
