Kutztown Folk Festival

It's Pennsylvania Dutch tradition that meals should be delicious and feed lots of friends and family. The Kutztown Folk Festival is a food lover’s dream and a chance to experience all the scrumptious local treats. Tasty selections abound, with items ranging from ice cream to family-style dinners. Our Country Kitchen where you can experience a full course Pennsylvania Dutch family-style meal cooked right in front of your eyes! This ticketed experience includes the 7 sweets and 7 sours. Our NEW Fresh Fest Market offering healthier food offerings, local craft beers, specially crafted cocktails with local ingredients. Festival favorites including local sausage, pot pie, corn fritters, funnel cake, apple dumplings and shoo-fly pie.

The Kutztown Folk Festival is the oldest continuously operated folklife festival in America. This nine-day event continues to draw visitors from all over the world, entertaining families while providing valuable insight into the traditions of the Pennsylvania Dutch and their fascinating way of life. Children's activities abound and admission is free for children 12 and under. The festival also houses the largest quilt sale in America and has an internationally attended Quilt Auction of top prize-winning quilts.

At the Kutztown Folk Festival, a visitor experiences more music, more entertainment, more fun, and far less work than they would in a Pennsylvania Dutch household. But the purpose of the festival is still fulfilled, as evidenced by the continued participation of the local Pennsylvania Dutch community as well as many of the foremost experts and scholars of this fascinating microcosm of America. This unusual nine-day festival had been featured twice in National Geographic and has been called "one of the most unique festivals on the East coast" by the Washington Post, with good reason.
