The observance, which runs from Oct. 25 to Nov. 1, spans events across Philadelphia-area bars, restaurants, and cideries.
According to a PhillyVoice report, the festivities begin at Pip’s, Ploughman Farm Cider’s first Philadelphia taproom. Pip’s will host an opening event from 2-7 p.m. on Oct. 25 before the night morphs into a party marking the taproom’s first anniversary. The event continues until 2 a.m.
Admission to the party is free for those 21 and older, with cider and other purchases available separately. Organizers have not yet announced which cider makers will participate.
Philly Cider Week culminates with an outdoor cider market beneath the Headhouse Shambles on Sunday, Nov. 1, from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. This market will feature Pennsylvania cider, live music, local snacks, and family-friendly activities with all-ages entry. The closing market will be free to enter, with food and drinks sold separately.
Optional cider passports will be available in advance and at the event, which will benefit the Food Trust.
Philly Cider Week is presented in collaboration with the Pennsylvania Cider Guild.
