Apple wassailing is an ancient community tradition in which we gather to share cider, sing incantations to the trees, and honor the land that nourishes us–all to welcome a good crop this season. Join us at your downtown Santa Cruz Community Orchard for the 3rd annual Santa Cruz Apple Wassail. Cider, toast, ribbons, trees, song, laughter, noise, celebration!

Our esteemed Wassail King Blaize Wilkinson will promptly begin the ceremonies shortly after our 1pm start time, Saturday March 1, 2020.

All are welcomed. Bring your cups for warm cider, and please bring treats to share! Festive costumes encouraged but not necessary. Free event, orchard donations accepted.

And join us the previous day 2/29 for a lively orchard workday: https://www.facebook.com/events/2300896186678362/

Location: Santa Cruz Community Orchard’s orchard garden at Mike Fox Park (225 San Lorenzo Blvd), next to the skate park and basketball courts.
