Bloomtime Ciderfest

Bloomtime Ciderfest, a lively spring festival celebrating North Carolina’s vibrant craft cider scene, will be held on Saturday, March 14, 2026, in the apple and peach tree orchards at James Creek Cider House in Cameron. This event invites food and beverage enthusiasts, families, travelers, and neighbors to experience the orchard-to-glass journey through tours and tastings with the cidermakers themselves. Live music and food trucks complete the festival atmosphere, creating the perfect spring afternoon.

More than 15 NC cideries will be on site pouring at the festival, including Barn Door Ciderworks, Botanist and Barrel, Bull City Ciderworks, Honeygirl Meadery, James Creek Cider House, Noble Cider, Red Clay Ciderworks, Starrlight Meadery, and Urban Orchard Cider Company. The festival is the first time the NC Cider Association has hosted a festival in eastern North Carolina and marks the first opportunity for local cider lovers to sample ciders from some of the smaller cideries in the western part of the state.
