  • Oct. 12: Los Dos Amigos + Busta Dawgs
  • Oct. 18: Sonny’s Hamburgers + Andiamo

What to bring

First, bring your friends and family to share the fall fun – remember that seats are first-come, first-served, so plan accordingly. Pets can join, too, as long as they are leashed and cleaned up after. Finally, leave your food and beverages outside the gate, and bring a respectful attitude. View the Cider in the City website for further prohibited items.
