Cider Judging
2:00pm - 4:00pm
The Michigan Apple Cider Contest is back in 2024 for its 26th Edition. Please consider entering! Entering the contest is easy, just bring two gallons of thawed cider to the Exhibitors Registration booth at the EXPO Registration area on Tuesday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm or Wednesday morning from 8:00 am to noon. Many of our winning ciders over the years of this competition have been from frozen cider made earlier in the fall.

Judge Training

Judges will undergo a brief training and calibration. Attendees are welcome to taste and judge the sample cider along with the judges.
