The Orcas Island Historical Museums are pleased to be hosting the 12th Annual Orcas Island Cider and Mead Festival on Saturday, July 13 on the Village Green in Eastsound.

The festival will have a number of cider and mead producers, their fabulous products, and lots of raving fans. Come taste and learn about some of the best ciders and meads from the Pacific Northwest and beyond. There will be live music and great local food from the Orcas Farmers Market next door. Make sure you purchase some bottles to take with you for later enjoyment! Proceeds from the festival will benefit the Orcas Island Historical Museums, and festival-goers will be able to visit the museum and learn about local historic orchards.

Tickets can be purchased online at orcasislandciderfest.org. We will be selling Early Bird Tickets for $25 until July 1, after which regular tickets will be available for $30 online and at the door. For more information: info@orcasmuseums.org, orcasislandciderfest.org.
