Visit Riverdale Orchard and Cidery and have a ‘braw’ time at our four-season destination for families, friends, and groups.

In the Scottish tradition, we love hosting events that bring folks together and provide a welcoming, cozy atmosphere where everyone feels right at home.
Our events are inspired by some of our favorite Scottish and Canadian traditions – from curry & cider nights to snowshoeing adventures, bonfires, live music, kite flying, and more!
Throughout the year we also celebrate holidays and other special occasions with fun, family-friendly events. A couple of our most beloved holiday events include Christmas in Riverdale and Guy Fawkes Bonfire Night, but we love any reason to celebrate, so you’ll find us hosting plenty of other holiday-inspired events during every season.
Christmas in Riverdale is a festive affair that showcases our local community of artisans. It’s the perfect way to get into the spirit of the season and experience the magic of Christmas in the countryside.
Our Guy Fawkes bonfire (Nov 5th) is a must for any Anglophile (that’s a person who an affinity for the United Kingdom!) or anyone who loves a roaring fire on a crisp autumn evening.
Delicious comfort food, warm and cold beverages, and conviviality are hallmarks of each and every event we host. Our events are always family-friendly and, where possible, dog-friendly too (we ask that you keep your well-behaved pooch on a leash at all times).
Check out our calendar of events for upcoming opportunities to eat, drink, and be merry at Riverdale Orchard & Cidery.
