21st Annual Pennsylvania Dutch Festival at Reading Terminal Market

Running through tomorrow, Aug. 14, the Amish/PA Dutch merchants of Reading Terminal Market (12th and Arch streets) will host their annual Pennsylvania Dutch Festival celebrating the traditions, foods and crafts of Lancaster County. This weekend marks the 21st year of the festival, which goes down in the market's center court seating area from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Some of the delicious traditional foods available include homemade fudge, nut brittle, doughnuts, sausage sandwiches, ice cream, funnel cakes, pot roast, hot ham sandwiches and much more. The festival's closing day looks to be a real treat: The fun will move outdoors to create a county fair right on Arch. There will be buggy and horse-drawn wagon rides around the market, a farm animal petting zoo and live bluegrass. For those driving to the event, discounted parking is available for $4 at 12th and Filbert. I cannot write about the Amish without adding that 'tis a fine barn, but sure 'tis no pool, English.
