A local favorite, this event provides fun for the whole family!
This year’s festival will feature a wide variety of historic skills and trades demonstrations. The theme “Food Traditions Past and Present” will include cooks, bakers, and beverage experts. Foods and cooking from the 18th century will be featured, along with the trades that made it possible to put food on the colonial table.
New this year, contemporary artisans who maintain these food traditions today will showcase their products. The area’s top chefs will be competing in food challenges.
This year’s festival is being co-sponsored by Visit Delco, PA.
Admission is free for all ages. Parking is $5 per car.
Tavern Night is a one-of-a-kind evening of 18th-century food, drink, and music. Participants will enjoy the warmth of the fire as they delight in a selection of flavors and aromas representative of those found in a colonial tavern.
All tavern goers will be served sample-sized courses of various foods and drink that are based on period receipts (recipes). A variety of punches, flip, and other beverages will be served along with fresh (non-alcoholic) cider. Period music, a live auction, and games will provide entertainment for the evening.
Proceeds from this fundraiser provide valuable internship opportunities for students wishing to pursue a career in history, museums, archaeology, and related disciplines.
Cost: $70/person. You must be 21 years or older to attend.
