Corvallis is gearing up for an annual cider celebration. 2 Towns Ciderhouse will host its 16th Annual Harvest Party on Saturday, October 3, running from noon to 9 p.m. at the company's headquarters, with net proceeds benefiting a statewide hunger relief effort and on-site donations going to a local food pantry.
A Day Built Around Cider, Music, and Food Trucks
According to The Washington Beer Blog, the party's proceeds will support the Oregon Food Bank, while food donated on-site will go to Linn Benton Food Share. The 2026 lineup features 55+ ciders from 2 Towns, Seattle Cider Company, and more, plus a live concert headlined by hip-hop artist Chali 2na alongside Chris Karns, per Cidercraft Magazine. Eight food trucks, production tours, and a seasonal Pumpkin Bar round out the day's offerings. As KOIN notes, the celebration coincides with apple harvest season across the Pacific Northwest, when fresh apples are used by local cideries.
Tickets for the event run $40 for general admission, which includes a commemorative carabiner mug and four drink tickets, according to Cidercraft Magazine. Designated-driver tickets cost $25, and free non-alcoholic cider is available during the event.
Harvest Party Anchors a Statewide Hunger Campaign
The single-day festival is really the centerpiece of something bigger. Per Brewbound, 2 Towns launched a broader Hunger Action Month initiative this month that offered Oregon shoppers a $10 digital grocery rebate for buying cider multipacks and held taproom food drives that entered participants into ticket raffles. That campaign ties the harvest celebration directly to regional food insecurity efforts rather than treating it as a standalone party.
2 Towns Ciderhouse traces its roots to 2010, when it began in an old 900-square-foot, two-car garage. That scrappy start has since grown into a company that distributes to 17 states.
In June 2026, 2 Towns was named Large Cidermaker of the Year and earned Best of Show at the Northwest Cider Cup, adding fresh industry accolades just months ahead of its 16th Harvest Party.
