There’s a festival for every taste at the festivals in Philadelphia and southeastern Pennsylvania during the months of July, August and September.
Enjoy a blueberry pie eating contest, buy a quilt, watch sports competitions or visit an antique car show.
You’ll love the food you’ll get here. Try something you’ve never tried before.
Don’t forget the dessert! And the sunscreen!
