Celebrate autumn at the annual Cider Days harvest festival at Heritage Lakewood Belmar Park from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday & Sunday, October 3 & 4, 2026. Cider Days features — what else? — cider by the glass or gallon, all sorts of “apple”-icious food, an apple press and more. There’s even an apple pie eating contest.
Admission is $12 for adults when purchased by September 21 or $17 starting September 22 and $10 for children (ages 3 to 12). Admission covers all entertainment and unlimited kids amusements, including burro rides, petting zoo, straw bale maze, face painting and hands-on crafts — so it’s a great deal.
You can even press your own apple cider using one of the vintage apple presses. If you want to participate, bring your own apples and a jug to take home your cider.
Once again, tickets will be timed entry to help alleviate wait times at this popular event. This festival often sells out which is why we are posting it so early. Sales open at 10 a.m. on Thursday, August 13.
Tickets are now on sale!
