Maryland Apple Blossom Festival

When: TBD - in mid-April
Where: TBD

Celebrate Spring at the Maryland Apple Blossom Cider Festival!

As the orchards burst into bloom, we invite you to experience the taste of the bounty that those blossoms will bring at the Maryland Apple Blossom Cider Festival! This is where the abundant bounty of our farms and orchards is transformed into a delightful array of delicious drinks.

Our festival is a true celebration of Maryland hard cider producers. Discover the incredible range of ciders, from dry and traditional to sweet and sparkling, showcasing the diverse craftsmanship right here in our state. You'll have the chance to sample a wide variety and find your new autumn favorite to take home.

Beyond cider, we're excited to feature a select few mead, wine, and spirits producers from Maryland. This is your opportunity to explore the rich flavors born from our local land, from golden honey meads to unique spirits that capture the essence of the harvest.

Join us for a day of tasting, discovery, and community as we raise a glass to the changing seasons and the incredible talent of Maryland's craft beverage makers!
