Blake’s Cider Dayze Event 2018
Meadful Things & Outciders Festival: 2018 Preview
August 17, 2018
Blackbird Ciders’ Buffalo Cider Hall
August 22, 2018
We certainly have an affinity for Blake’s Hard Cider and cider events across the country. But, what happens when those things are on a collision course towards one another? That would be Cider Dayze, an event on their property in Armada, Michigan. And, I wouldn’t say this is your run-of-the-mill event, either. This event has two dates, August 25th at 12pm and August 26th at 5pm, both jam-packed with games, dancing, music, food, cider, mead, and beautiful Michigan views.
Cider Dayze is a non-profit event put on by the Armada Lions Club, hosted by Blake’s, and it really does pack a punch. In its fourth year, it is bringing back much of the same fun as it had in 2017. We were lucky enough to attend last year and partook in all of the activities on the property while stopping into the taproom for a growler and a meal. But, you didn’t come here to listen to me ramble, you wanted to see a list of the activities. Here are some of the things you can look forward to this time around:
