Being as PA Dutch as a person can possibly get, it was essential to visit the Kutztown Folk Festival and reconnect with my roots. Get all the kraut dogs, funnel cake, homemade ice cream, and corn fritters you can stomach at this festival of the foods and arts. Besides being able to eat some authentic Dutch food, you can purchase a HUGE variety of handmade amish/mennonite crafts from over 200 craftsmen at the fair.
But what is there to do for the kids? How about a real carousel ride pulled by a mule? Or puppet shows? Live musical performances? Hay mazes, petting zoo, pony rides, bounce houses, child size train rides? Yes, the Kutztown Folk Festival has them all!
Some things you need to know...It's going to be hot Friday and Saturday. Bring water, or you'll be paying $2 a bottle. If your kids want to bounce in the bounce house, BRING SOCKS! The heat makes the plastic SUPER hot, so you don't want to burn the toddler's footsies by trying it barefoot.
Also these particular rides you need to purchase tickets for. There are plenty of free kids activities, but bring cash (there are ATMs on site).
Kids under 12 years of age get in free, but adults are $14 (parking is included). Here is a coupon for $3 off of admission (my gift to you!) Have fun, and if you ain't Dutch, you ain't much! Festival ends Sunday, July 8th.
