Produced & coordinated by the CMVB and situated in the beautiful Knoebels Amusement Resort in Elysburg, this festival truly has something for everyone and is an excellent time to begin your holiday shopping.  Choose from woodcrafts, wreaths, dried floral arrangements, ceramics, clothing, baskets and much more.  Keep an eye out for crafters demonstrating their skills.

Each year the festival features nearly 300 crafters and boasts over 25 food vendors.  Choose from a variety of tasty treats for breakfast, lunch or dinner.  BBQ chicken is roasted over an open pit and you can watch apple butter being made as well as kettle corn being popped in an outdoor kettle.  Free entertainment by acts such as Jay Smar, Mike Lewis, Stained Grass Window, The Legends and dancing by the Covered Bridge Cloggers and Susqui Squares.

A Fun Auction takes place each year on Saturday at 1pm.  Over 300 donated items are auctioned off by professional auctioneers. Plus on Sunday, car buffs are invited to display their classic and antique cars. Registration is free and begins at 10 am. Commemorative plaques will be given to the first 100 registrants.   And even though the official season is over, Knoebels opens many of the rides in the park on Saturday and Sunday, so there is really something for everyone to enjoy.

 

A “sister” Susquehanna River Arts Fine Arts Festival is held in conjunction with this event at Twin Covered Bridges Park in the picturesque village of Forks.
