Cider Days is Lakewood’s biggest fall weekend, held on the grounds of Heritage Lakewood Belmar Park on Saturday, Oct. 3 (10 a.m. to 5 p.m.) and Sunday, Oct. 4 (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.). Admission is $17 for adults and $10 for children at regular pricing (early-bird pricing ended Sept. 21).
One ticket covers a lot: cider pressing, wagon and barrel-train rides, a tractor pull, a goat walkabout, face painting, a trick-pig show, a magician, line dancing and apple crafts, plus live music, antique tractors and historic demonstrations on the museum grounds. Well-behaved dogs are welcome, which is rare for a festival of this size.
