The Kutztown Folk Festival is in full swing at the Kutztown Fairgrounds.
Tickets are available online. The festival runs through Sunday.
“We are so happy to be back again this summer with some new offerings, as well as our traditional festival favorites,” said Heather Zimmerman, festival director. “Honoring our rich Pennsylvania Dutch heritage while simultaneously appealing to new audiences will keep our event around for generations to come.”
“We are excited to have The Kutztown Folk Festival return,” said Chris Manwiller, secretary of the Kutztown Fair Association. “Before last year’s event, the Kutztown Fair Association and the Kutztown Folk Festival signed another five-year agreement. We are looking forward to four more great years.”
There is daily entertainment on five different stages, traditional food and music and the country’s largest quilt sale. Some new craftsmen and food vendors are joining the festival this summer, as well as some new entertainment offerings. Each day’s schedule of events can be found at www.kutztownfestival.com.
A new partnership with GoggleWorks Center for the Arts will bring “GoggleWorks on the Go” to the festival, offering a variety of demonstrations and interactive workshops in glass blowing, pottery, woodworking, metal smithing and other artistic endeavors.
