Lake City Cider’s Gingersnap Cider

Gingersnap Cider has returned at Lake City Cider! Made with Annapolis Valley apples, blended with fresh ginger root and a touch of molasses, it delivers a flavour inspired by the classic winter cookie. A cozy balance of spice, sweetness, and snap!

Available in cans and on tap.

Mahone Bay Scarecrow Festival

The Mahone Bay Scarecrow Festival continues until October 13, with hundreds of whimsical and creative scarecrows scattered throughout the seaside streets. It’s the perfect way to enjoy crisp autumn days and a touch of local charm.
