How come East Coast Cider Festival isn’t an all-u-can-drink (for one price) event?

East Coast Cider Festival is a tasting event. All-u-can drink events promote overconsumption/overintoxication, and that’s not what ECCF is about.

Absolutely. Additional tickets are $2/each or 2 for $3 and will be available at the Curated Magazine tent. Please be advised that East Coast Cider Festival has the right to refuse service.

If I want more food outside of what I get with the free token can I purchase more?

Yes. Just go to the Curated Magazine tent for more tickets.

Where can I get one of those Cider Fest T-shirts?

All our swag will be available for purchase at the Curated Magazine tent.

How long is each session (afternoon and evening)?

Each session is three hours in length.

If I don’t use my drink tickets or food token, can I get a refund on them?

Unfortunately, not. This event was budgeted around a 12 drink sample and one food ticket model.

Can I bring my infant or child with me?

Unfortunately not. ECCF is 19+ only.
