​Celebrate the Season, Taste the Region

Olympic Peninsula, WA – The Olympic Peninsula Apple & Cider Festival returns for its ninth year, running October 9–12, 2025, to honor the flavors, traditions, and makers of Washington’s fall harvest. Hosted by The Production Alliance, this beloved event brings together cider lovers, families, foodies, and farmers for a vibrant weekend celebration rooted in the heart of the Pacific Northwest.

Since its launch in 2016, the festival has grown into a signature agritourism experience that celebrates Washington’s iconic fruit—the apple—and the diverse community of orchardists, fermenters, and artisans that keep this tradition alive. Think tree-to-glass experiences, orchard strolls, rich history, and of course, plenty of cider to go around.

​

While the full lineup is still being finalized, one thing is for sure:
Finnriver Apple Day is set for Sunday, October 12 at Finnriver Farm & Cidery in Chimacum. This all-ages event will include:

• Live music and dancing

• Orchard tours and cider barn open house

• Craft making, apple art, and cider pressing

• Local food vendors and family-friendly fun

• And cider—from dry, bold blends to sweet, fizzy delights

Suggested donation at the gate is $5–$20, with no one turned away for lack of funds.
