Haverhill’s annual CiderFeast downtown is coming in June as part of a five-city tour.
The city’s own Jimmy Carbone, host of Beer Sessions Radio, said the tour runs from March 16 through November with four stops on the East Coast. New for 2026, a cider dinner kicks off the season next Monday, March 16, at Juliet in Somerville.
The dinner with New England Cider Makers is built around four of New England’s best cider producers—Pete Endres of Bird Dog Cider, Zack Kaiser of Absolem Cider, Steve Garwood of Ragged Hill Cider and Eleanor Leger of Eden Ciders. The night features a multi-course meal paired with tastes of eight ciders and conversations with the cider makers about their personal journeys, history of cider making in New England, current state of the industry and growing practices.
The CiderFeast East Coast Tour continues Sunday, May 3, at noon, at Oxbow Blending & Bottling, Portland, Maine; Thursday, June 18, 5:30 p.m., at the Rep. Brian S. Dempsey Boardwalk behind Harbor Place in downtown Haverhill; Saturday, Oct. 3, noon, at Industry City, Brooklyn, New York; and Saturday, Nov. 14, at noon, South Boston Lithuanian Citizens’ Association in Boston.
Each stop, Carbone says, brings together dozens of hand-selected cidermakers pouring their best bottles alongside local food and award-winning hot sauces from Sauce King NYC, all on one all-inclusive ticket.
