What is Cider Days?
Cider Days is an annual community celebration of all things apple in beautiful Franklin County, Massachusetts. 2026 marks our 32nd anniversary year! Come to the beautiful 413 to enjoy tours of the region's premier cideries and orchards with cidermaking demos and tastings, workshops, exhibitions, and educational events at a county-wide selection of venues. Find attractions from the valley towns of Greenfield, Deerfield, and Turners Falls to the beautiful hills of Buckland, Shelburne Falls, Colrain, Heath and all the towns in between. Whether you are a cider aficianado (hard or sweet), make your own cider, are an orchardist, like hanging out in bucolic orchards, or just enjoy soaking up all the goodness of autumn in New England, Cider Days is your event!
Most Cider Days activities are completely - FREE - but some scheduled programming requires registration and a ticket like the Cider Salon and the Guided Cider Tastings at The Mill
The 2026 Schedule of events will be coming soon! When published, it will show the dates and times of scheduled programming at various locations throughout Franklin County.
