Pepper Fest at James Creek Cider House

🌶️ Turn Up the Heat — PepperFest is Coming to James Creek!

Things are getting a little spicy at the orchard! Join us Sunday, September 20 from 1–5pm for PepperFest at James Creek Cider House, an afternoon celebrating all things PEPPER! 🌶️🍎

One of the highlights of the day is our Salsa Competition beginning at 2pm — and this time, YOU get to help choose the winner! Think your homemade salsa deserves the title? We’re still accepting entries, so stop by the tasting room or use the registration link to sign up and bring us your best recipe. 🔥

Of course, we couldn’t have PepperFest without bringing back Pepper Peach cider! Our sweet-meets-heat favorite will be on tap for the occasion, alongside our other James Creek ciders and frozen cider slushies. We’ll also have fresh peppers available, so you can take a little of PepperFest home with you.

The rest of the afternoon is packed, too. Pilates & Pours kicks things off at 1pm, our local market vendors will be set up from 1–5pm, and Mary Stone takes the stage from 2–5pm for an afternoon of live music. Come hungry because Bus Stop Melts will be serving from 1–6pm!
