Cider Fest Weekend is officially on tap at Rivercrest Orchard, and it’s bringing something brand new to Fayetteville. For the first time, Arkansas Black Apple Brewing, the only hard cider company in the state, is serving their craft ciders right at the orchard. Their limited-edition Pumpkin Cider is the star of the show.

Beyond the cider, Rivercrest has all the autumn favorites lined up: you-pick apples straight from the trees, fields of zinnias, sunflowers, and marigolds bursting with color, and plenty of photo-worthy spots for that perfect fall backdrop. Add in 25+ attractions across the orchard, including everything from family activities to classic festival fun, and you’ve got a weekend full of reasons to stay all day.
Raise a glass and make Cider Fest your new fall tradition. Who’s in for a weekend at the orchard?
