2024 Maryland Cider Festival Set for Later This Summer

Mark your calendars for the 2024 Maryland Cider Festival, happening on Saturday, September 7th at Two Story Chimney Ciderworks in Gaithersburg, MD.

This event showcases hard cider makers from across the Old Line State. You’ll also find local artisans, craft vendors, live music, and food trucks. “Whether you’re an aficionado who knows their cider, cidre, or sidra, or you’re just looking for a refreshing change of taste this is the place to be. Come join us for a celebration of Maryland craft makers.” Though the event has a Gaithersburg address, it’s north of Laytonsville closer to Damascus at 7115 Damascus Rd. Last year’s event was a success enjoyed by many, and round two is less than two months away.

The festival features local craft producers showcasing their best hard ciders, from dry to sweet, still to sparkling, modern to heritage, and everything in between. Ciders of all styles and types will be in glass for you to sample and take home, and you’ll get to learn more about the cider-making process from the experts.

“The festival will include a variety of food trucks serving up delicious bites to pair with your cider, live music from local musicians for your enjoyment, and local craft vendors selling their unique and handmade products.

Whether you’re a cider lover or just looking for a refreshing way to end the summer, you won’t want to miss this event. The festival runs from 11am to 4pm, rain or shine. Don’t miss this chance to celebrate the growing Maryland cider scene and support local craft makers. Early bird tickets on sale now!
