Portland Revels Cider Pressing Party and Harvest Potluck

Apple Cider Pressing Party & Harvest Potluck

Sunday, October 6, 2013 from 1 to 5pm
Hillsboro, Oregon

Every autumn, Portland Revels looks forward to hosting its annual Apple Cider Press & Potluck Party. Based on the country truism that, "many hands make light work" Revels rounds up bushels of apples, sets up presses, and invites friends, neighbors and curious passers-by to come chop a few apples to feed the presses. The fruits of this labor are gallons galore of sweet, fresh apple juice.

This year's party will be held from 1 to 5pm on Sunday, October 6th in Hillsboro. Live bluegrass music will be provided by Folk City, featuring talented musicians Kevin Shay Johnson and Mick Doherty. Members of the Renegade Rose Morris team will demonstrate the fine art of traditional Morris Dance steps with bells jingling and sticks and white hankies flying. Once the apples are all squeezed, we'll lay out the potluck feast and everyone will be invited to fill up their plates. By the end of the party, we anticipate guests will have a gallon of apple juice, several new friends, and a story or two to take home.

To join in, guests should bring a labeled jug to collect a share of cider, and a potluck specialty dish to contribute. The entry fee raises funds for the Christmas Revels show.
