Cider Summit SF 2020 Postponed Indefinitely, New ‘Festival To-Go Tasting Kits’
Cider Summit SF, one of our favorite annual festivals, has announced that this year’s festival is postponed indefinitely due to the COVID-19 global pandemic with plans to return to the SF’s Presidio Civil War Parade Ground in Spring 2021.
In its place for 2020, Cider Summit has curated two ‘Festival To-Go Tasting Kits’ featuring a variety of Pacific Northwest craft ciders available for delivery to California residents (as well as to 48 additional states).
