San Francisco, CA – Thursday, August 20, 2025 — The San Francisco Fall Cider Fest is back, and this year, it’s heading to Camp SPARK! On Saturday, November 8 (21+ only) and Sunday, November 9 (all ages), SPARK Social SF in Mission Bay transforms into a nostalgic fall camp experience — complete with unlimited cider to sip under the golden autumn sky, camp games, fire pits with s’mores, and merit badges to compete and win!

After last year’s sold-out success, the 5th edition welcomes back unlimited tastings from 30+ craft cider makers alongside 15+ gourmet food trucks, live entertainment, and festive competitions for a weekend of cozy, cider-fueled fun.

“It’s an amazing communal event supporting all the local cideries. Highlighting them. Everyone loves ciders — it’s easy to drink. Especially for an event like this, you could really go and try 5! 10! 15 of them!”, says Carlos Muela, Owner of SPARK Social SF.

Jimmy Carrillo, Special Event Coordinator at SPARK Social SF, adds, “Cider Fest is all about creating a space where the community can come together, enjoy local flavors, and celebrate the season. Camp SPARK brings a playful twist, making it nostalgic for adults and fun for families.”

With dozens of ciders on tap and Camp SPARK’s nostalgic activities, the festival highlights both craft makers and community in San Francisco.

Festival Highlights:

• Unlimited Tastings – Sample unique blends and seasonal releases from 30+ craft cider makers, including bold flavors like honey-sage, sour blood orange, and passionfruit.
