WindFall CiderFest is the Friday night feature of the Cider-N-Gold Festival, hosted by the Kittitas Environmental Education Network (KEEN). This ticketed tasting event brings together over a dozen regional cider makers for an evening of crisp, flavorful pours, live music, and community celebration. Guests receive a commemorative tasting glass and the opportunity to sample unique small-batch and seasonal ciders from across the Pacific Northwest.
The primary purpose of WindFall is to celebrate the region’s craft cider industry while supporting KEEN’s nature-based education programs. Set outdoors at the Kittitas Valley Event Center, the ambiance is festive and welcoming, with string lights, food trucks, and the golden glow of fall.
Our target audience includes adults aged 21–55 who enjoy artisan beverages, local food culture, and live music in a relaxed, social setting. The combination of exclusive cider offerings, high-quality entertainment, and a mission-driven cause makes WindFall a draw for cider enthusiasts, young professionals, and supporters of environmental education alike. Now in its seventh year, WindFall has built a loyal following and continues to grow by offering a one-of-a-kind experience rooted in both local flavor and community impact.
