Pa. Dutch Fest in Philadelphia Runs Through Saturday


by KYW's Jim Melwert

This week is the 19th annual Pennsylvania Dutch Festival at Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia. 

The Pennsylvania Dutch Festival features arts and crafts straight from Lancaster County, including quilts, woodcrafts, and handmade rugs and toys.

And of course, there's the food:

"Homemade sausages here. We have the donuts to get your sweet tooth filled."

Reading Terminal Market event consultant Jennifer Shur says those donuts are always a hit as they're made right in front of you:

"They are from A.J. Beiler's Bakery. Once a year is the only time you can get them homemade, actually, you know. Within a half in hour, your buying them."

The event runs through Saturday afternoon, when there will be music entertainment. Also a petting zoo on Arch Street where they'll have free Amish buggy rides.
