The cidery’s popular hot mulled cider will also be available. For kids in attendance, there will be a special kids area with a bouncy house, hot apple juice, and visits with Santa from 12pm to 4pm. For kids at heart, Ice Cream Feens PDX is hosting a pop-up shop with ice cream stuffed doughnuts, including a Caramel Apple Doughnut made with Portland Cider’s Perfect 10 Cider; the doughnuts will be available from 12pm to 6pm.

The Portland Revels will help ring in the season with a traditional Wassail from 5:30pm to 8:30pm, featuring live music from some of their talented musicians, including Elias Alexander on the fiddle/pipe. The evening will also feature Morris dancers, pub songs, and Scottish dance lessons to celebrate the Portland Revel’s upcoming Christmas performance, Highland Voyage.
