The 22nd annual Pennsylvania Dutch Festival makes it way back to town from August 11-13 with three (free!) days celebrating the finest traditions of the Pennsylvania Dutch — good food, handmade crafts, and a country street fair.

The festival will be held at Reading Terminal Market’s center court seating area, where you can browse through handmade crafts such as quilts, woodcrafts, paintings, hand-braided rugs and much more.

The Food

Enjoy delicious, traditional Pennsylvania Dutch eats including sticky buns, shoofly pie, donuts, jams, jellies, soft pretzels, barbecue chicken, barbecue ribs, scrapple, Amish-style sausage sandwiches, chicken potpie — and that’s only the beginning.

The Fair

On Saturday, August 13, the fun moves outdoors with a country street fair on Arch Street, featuring Amish buggy rides, horse drawn wagon rides, a petting zoo and live bluegrass entertainment.

And don’t sweat finding a parking spot: $4 parking will be available at the nearby Parkway Garage at 12th and Filbert Streets. What’s not to love?
