Ciderfest
September 27th & 28th
October 4th & 5th
2025
As soon as the leaves start showing off, we start dreaming of Ciderfest! 🍁🍎
Get ready for two weekends of classic, cozy, cider-soaked fun at Louisburg Cider Mill — where fall isn’t just a season, it’s a celebration. Mark your calendars: Ciderfest happens the last weekend in September and the first weekend in October, and the best part? No admission or parking fees. Just pure apple-powered joy.
Each Saturday and Sunday kicks off with the Louisburg Lions Club Pancake Breakfast from 8–11am (because cider tastes better after pancakes, obviously). Then the fun rolls on with pony rides, inflatable slides, live cider and donut-making, and rows of craft booths — all happening until 6pm.
Bring your boots, your flannels, and your festive spirit. We’ll bring the cider (and donuts too!). 🍩✨
Naturally,
The first course of the Ciderfest is watching how apples are freshly pressed into 100% pure apple cider — from initial washing to the actual press.
You can buy a cup of fresh hot or cold cider, munch on a cider doughnut, try a freshly dipped caramel apple, be there for the pancake breakfast, or sample a Lost Trail Root Beer — one of the soda treats that Louisburg Cider Mill has become famous for.
Featuring Live Music
Every Saturday and Sunday from mid-morning to late afternoon, you can listen to bluegrass music outside the Country Store on our Lost Trail stage.
We hope you're tappin' your toes to live bluegrass music while enjoying freshly made kettle corn and other unique fares like smoked turkey legs. A wide variety of arts and crafts booths abound where you can find gifts such as original candles, home-crafted furniture, or homemade toys for the kids!
Also at Ciderfest . . .
Pony rides, inflatables, and face painting for the children. Prices vary for each of these activities.
Visit our Country Store
If you can’t make Ciderfest, our renowned Country Store is open year-round! Stop by for great gifts and gift baskets. You’ll find old-fashioned charm, hospitality, and fresh cider and donuts available daily.
