Goschenhoppen Folk Festival Attraction Details
Goschenhoppen Folk Festival
The annual Goschenhoppen Folk Festival, started in 1966, is nationally recognized as an educational event to be enjoyed by the whole family. It is held each year in August on the 2nd Saturday and the Friday before, at the Henry Antes Plantation. It is a non-commercial family oriented day in Goschenhoppen. Old fashioned foods and Pennsylvania Dutch meals are for sale on the festival grounds. Young and old alike can leisurely enjoy more than 500 skilled and apprentice craftsmen giving live demonstrations of more than 150 skills of the 18th and 19th centuries. Dressed in authentic costumes of the periods (many of which are loaned from the Historian's extensive wardrobe), they use authentic tools in recreating traditional home skills, trades, pastimes, foods, and folk music. Stage programs and lectures are both scholarly and entertaining, serious and humorous, in the dialect and in English are presented throughout the day.
