If you can't find something to eat here, you're not looking. The event features festival favorites, such as French fries, Italian sausage sandwiches, pizza, corn dogs, hot dogs, cotton candy, lemon shakes and funnel cakes, alongside barbecue ribs, pulled pork sandwiches, stromboli, subs, nachos, chicken tenders, banana splits, hot fudge sundaes, hamburgers, chicken on a stick and cheese steaks.

Even if they’re not hungry, kids should be able to find something to do at the festival. The grounds include a children’s play area with activities and inflatables.

The festival hours are 4 to 11:30 p.m. Public parking lots are available off Frank Road; parking is $5 per vehicle after 3 p.m. It’s a good idea to wear sensible shoes, as the trek from the parking lots can be long and the grassy terrain uneven.
