What is Whidbey Island Cider Festival?

Whidbey Island Cider Festival is the major fundraising event for Pacific Rim Institute and a chance to share with the community the work that Pacific Rim Institute does to restore the endangered westside prairie habitat and the species found therein.

Started in 2017, the Whidbey Island Cider Festival used to fit in the Granary building at Pacific Rim Institute. In 2023 the event was held outdoors, and exceeded the expectations at PRI.  In 2024 the event was held at the Greenbank Farm.

In 2025 the Cider Festival is returning to PRI, allowing us to highlight the importance of our work in environmental restoration here on Whidbey Island.
