Olympic Peninsula, WA - The Olympic Peninsula Apple and Cider Festival returns for its eighth year, bringing the vibrant traditions of apple harvesting and cider making to life from October 10-13, 2024. Hosted by The Production Alliance, this annual agritourism event has become a must-attend celebration in the Pacific Northwest, showcasing the region's rich agricultural heritage and the people who make it all happen.

Established in 2016, the Olympic Peninsula Apple and Cider Festival connects locals and visitors to the bountiful harvest of Washington’s state symbol-the apple. This festival has quickly become a beloved tradition in the Northwest, known for celebrating our farmers, cider makers, and artisans.

"This festival is all about community," says Danny Milholland, Director of Operations at The Production Alliance. "It’s a time for us to come together, celebrate the hard work of our local farmers, cider makers, and artisans, and share the fruits of our labor with friends and neighbors."
