SISGA 2026 volunteers

Join the International Hall of Gala Ciders and experience an international cider event from the inside.

Be part of SISGA

SISGA 2026 welcomes adult volunteers who would like to support the event from 24 to 27 September, with activities in Xixón, Villaviciosa and Nava.

Volunteers are fundamental to welcoming producers, the international jury, guests and visitors, and to the event’s open, cultural and participatory character.

Volunteering offers direct contact with producers from different countries and contributes to the international profile of Xixón and Asturies as a leading cider region.
