# Event Details - **Event Name**: Edmonton Apple Cider Celebration ? 3 Free Family Weekends! - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 29 Aug, 2026 at 11:00 am - **Event Description**: A free family fun day where fall's harvest turns into fresh cider right in front of you. Saturday, August 29, 11am to 4pm at Capilano Community League, kicking off Edmonton's 2026 Apple Cider Celebration on the edge of the river valley. Watch the whole process happen all afternoon, from apple to glass. Kids take turns pedaling our bike-powered Apple Annihilator to crush the fruit, everyone gets to taste the fresh-pressed cider, and we close the day with an orchard blessing, an old harvest tradition families come back for year after year. Have apples at home? Bring them along and we will press them too. Last year, three Saturdays like this one turned more than 6,000 pounds of rescued backyard apples into 1,020 litres of cider. This is the first of three Saturdays this fall, each one at a different Edmonton community league, and if you found this page you now know about all of them. ➜ The three pressing days ? Capilano, Saturday August 29, 11am to 4pm This event, the season opener. ? Millhurst, Saturday September 19, 11am to 4pm Sakaw Gardens in southeast Edmonton, a community-grown space that hosted our very first press. Bike-powered crushing on the Apple Annihilator, preservation demos, and a walk through the garden beds. ? October 3, location to be announced The season closes at a third community league. Follow this page and we will post it the moment it is confirmed. Come to one. Come to all three. Nobody is counting. ➜ Why we bless the trees Every fall Edmontonians gather to press apples, and then we stop and thank the trees that grew them. The orchard blessing revives wassailing, an old ritual where people sing to the apple trees, pour cider at their roots, and make enough joyful noise to call up next year's harvest. The word comes from the old Norse ves heill, be healthy, be whole. It is a little silly. It is also the part your kids will still be talking about in November. ➜ What to bring ? Apples, if you have a tree. One 25L tote holds about 20 pounds, which fills faster than most people expect ? Sunscreen and a hat, most of the afternoon is outdoors with little shade ? A water bottle to stay hydrated while you wait your turn at the press Free, and no tickets required. Onsite parking and public washrooms, courtesy of Capilano Community League.
