The 2026 Annual Blossom Festival returns this April 11th (aka, National Pet Day) to Albemarle CiderWorks. This is our yearly celebration of plants, pets, & the community! Our Pet Parade (orchestrated by Caring for Creatures) is back & cuter than ever this year with a Spring Theme!   We're calling all Ladies & Tramps to break out their bows and tutus for this puppy parade. For inspiration, think:  bunnies, bumblebees, butterflies, gnomes, flowers & vegetables, ect - all things cute & seasonal!

Enter your beloved pet into our pet parade this year for a chance to be in the cutest contest of the season, raise funds for Caring for Creatures, and potentially win a prize from local vendors! Last chance to register is 1:45pm. day of the Festival. 

This festival will be Saturday, April 11, from 12:00 p.m. to 5 p.m.  Join us for this pet-friendly festival hosted by Albemarle CiderWorks to support the local no-kill animal sanctuary Caring for Creatures.

You will find a wide variety of local vendors, pet outfitters, pet healthcare experts, live music, competitions, food trucks, and plenty of pet friendly activities.

all pets welcome to join our pet parade. Please ensure all animals are kept under control and/ leashed at all times.

More details available soon!
