Batlow CiderFest is a colourful party celebrating the end of the apple harvest and the best boutique ciders from around Australia and those brewed locally. Growers, producers, locals and their visitors enjoy some hard-earned downtime after the long months of cultivating, growing, picking and packing, before winter sets in on the Snowy Valleys. This is one festival not to be missed. With a stage hosting a range of local talent and market stalls offering boutique ciders, gourmet food, locally grown produce, and tempting homemade treats. The atmosphere sizzles with buskers and street theatre including a troupe of home-grown Apple Tarts who lead the dance. Against a backdrop of trees in glorious autumn colours, the aroma of food from around the globe and of course, the sound of fresh cider being poured in clear mountain air stirs the senses.
