The story

Cider Days in Springfield

Cider Days is a two-day fall festival held on Historic Walnut Street in downtown Springfield, Missouri, typically in mid-to-late September. Organized as part of the district's seasonal event calendar, it features live performances, food vendors, and an arts-and-crafts market, with apple cider as its namesake feature. It is listed among Visit Springfield's confirmed annual fall events for the historic district.

Cider Days belongs to a recognizable regional pattern: a fall street festival built around apple cider, staged in one of Springfield's preserved historic neighborhoods rather than at the county fairgrounds or a park.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Cider Days takes its identity from its setting rather than a single headline attraction: the festival unfolds along Walnut Street's row of restored Victorian-era homes and brick storefronts, one of Springfield's designated historic districts, giving the event a backdrop distinct from a fairground or park

02

The mystery stays covered

Apple cider functions as the festival's namesake draw, tying the event to the broader Ozarks tradition of fall orchard and harvest festivals found across the region

03

The city starts moving

Because the festival is compact and street-based rather than sprawling, it favors a walkable mix of live music stages, food vendors, and craft and art booths over large-scale carnival attractions, giving it a neighborhood-festival character shared with the district's other seasonal events on the same street, including its spring counterpart, Artsfest
