February 2-5, 2026
We can’t wait to see you in Providence, Rhode Island for CiderCon® 2026, the place where cider lovers, makers, and movers will come together to learn, connect, and raise a glass.
This year’s theme, “Crafting Cider’s Future Together,” is a call to action and a celebration of the creativity, collaboration, and sheer passion keeping our industry moving forward.
CiderCon® 2026, is being held at the Rhode Island Convention Center. There you’ll find all the things you love (yes, we see you, Cider Share!) and a bunch of fresh surprises to make this year’s gathering the best one yet.
