Thanks for this, I’d never heard of this festival. My ancestors came to PA in 1729 or thereabouts so I’d love to attend this some time. I’m assuming it’s already happened for 2022, but can you please share the approximate dates so I can make a note for next year? I can’t find any information on their website.🙄 Thank you.

Hi Lisa, yes, the festival was last Saturday. I believe it happens every year on the 2nd weekend in August. I found the historians to be really quick in responding to questions. This is their contact address: 215-234-8953

I hope you do--the food is really interesting in a good way...plus the people are great. Honestly, if I lived closer, I'd love to volunteer and learn a lot more about the period
