Celebrate autumn at the annual Cider Days harvest festival at Heritage Lakewood Belmar Park from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday & Sunday, October 1 & 2, 2022. 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 $8 for adults when purchased in advance or $12 day of the event and $5 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.
New for 2022! Timed-entry tickets. Based on feedback from past participants, the event is moving to timed entry tickets to help alleviate wait times at this popular event. Tickets are now on sale!
