The only thing better than a Guest of Honor announcement is a DOUBLE Guest of Honor announcement! We’re very excited to reveal that Claire and Gabe will be returning as Guests of Honor this year! The last time we saw them was at PVCF19, and there’s a lot to celebrate about this reunion—most of all that they are now officially married! We can’t wait to see them at all our Guest of Honor panels and events!

But that’s not all! What better way to close out an amazing weekend than with a THIRD concert? Gabe will also be returning to our stage for a special SUNDAY afternoon performance! Make sure you don’t leave early, as you won’t want to miss it!

The Thirsty Thursday Pub Trot is back for 2024!

It wouldn’t be Ciderfest without a Pub Trot! This Thursday night event is back for its 9th iteration, and tickets go on sale for the public this Sunday, the 13th, at 7 p.m. Central Time!

The event will take place on the evening of Thursday, October 31st, and will depart the hotel at 7 pm. Only 70 tickets will be available, and include access to drink specials at some of our stops, as well as a special souvenir to take home. Both a ticket to the Pub Trot and any type of attendee badge are required to participate. The route will be announced at a later date.

NEW THIS YEAR: Pub Trot ticket purchasers will also be entitled to PRIORITY pre-reg badge pickup starting at 6 p.m. on Thursday at the con to ensure they can quickly get their badge and join the Trot. Only Sponsors and Pub Trot ticket holders will be able to get their badges starting at 6 p.m. Standard Pre-reg pickup for all other groups will start at 7 p.m. (or earlier if we finish the Priority group early). The price for the Pub Trot tickets will now be $30 to reflect this added benefit.

SPONSOR PRE-SALE: Half of the tickets will be available to Sponsor Badge holders, one per person, via a presale link to be sent out via Eventbrite to the email address to which their badges are registered. THIS LINK WILL ALSO DISCOUNT THE TICKET TO $20, to adjust for the Priority Pre-Reg benefit that the sponsors already have as part of their packages. The presale will last 24 hours and will begin this Saturday, the 12th, at 7 p.m. Central Time. Look for the email soon!

We have more guests and news to share very soon, so make sure to subscribe in whatever way you’d like to get updates, and don’t forget to register!
