It's the first time I've been there in 18 years since I moved out of town. It's a little smaller…read morethan it was but still had a lot of Booths. I liked all the vendors artwork it's hard to find that many artists at one place. Everyday and night they have bands playing and there really good. Actually I go for the food and it was just as good as it was 18 years ago plus the prices were reasonable plus the profits help a lot of organizations. If your in the area when it's going on it's worth stopping to walk around.

Many delicious food booths with plenty of seating in the shade. Live musical performances and children's activities. Very enjoyable for all ages.

Well, I find that the last review for this festival is 5 years old; so I think I have an obligation…read moreto update it. The Westmoreland Arts & Crafts Heritage Festival is in its 42nd year and is always scheduled around the 4th of July weekend. It is located in Twin Lakes Park. This year, it runs from June 20 through July 3. Over the years, it has expanded and attracted artisans from all over the country. The items for sale range from wood crafts, jewelry, pottery, art prints and paintings, plants and other specialties. Also, one can wander through the park and find great food to purchase. Popular choices for many are the fresh raspberries and ice cream, fried vegetables, and wood fired pizza. I tried steak fajitas ($7 for two) and French beignets ($4 for about 8) from one food booth. I was very pleased with both. There are several stages that offer different musical genres. A schedule for performers can be found on the web site. The Island Stage is the main performance area, but check out the stage located a short distance from the boat house. Around that stage are several craft and food booths. If you feel like walking, there are reenactors located on the upper lake. So, there is plenty to see, music to listen to, food to eat and beautiful items for purchase. There is also an area for kids to make crafts and play. CONS: Although, things are spaced throughout, this festival draws a big crowd. Sometimes a little patience and a smile is needed when waiting in food lines. No alcohol is served, but there are water, cola, Gatorade booths. The thing is you have to purchase tickets to buy your beverage. I don't know, why not use cash for beverages, too? Parking is sometimes at a premium but some people let you park on their property for a price. There are shuttle buses available, but riding in a hot school bus isn't something I care to do. They seem to have a good system though, by dropping passengers off at an entrance area of the park and picking riders up at the other end. No dogs are allowed in the festival area. I think this is a very nice way to spend time over the holiday and has something for everyone. More information can be found on their web site.

Our family always enjoys visiting the Banana Split Festival every August. They have so many great…read moreactivities for kids. Today we went to the library and met a therapy horse, played in a bouncy house, had our face painted, played hop scotch, colored pictures, and did banana split and Daniel Tiger crafts. There is something for everyone. We also enjoyed watching all of the entertainment and singers. And of course we had to get a banana split! There are many food trucks and different vendors selling homemade items too. All and all it's a great time!

Came back this year and it's even better. Everything in my prior review is the same. Still great…read morefood, still great churches, and still a great community festival. The one noticeable addition to the festival is that more ethnicities are now involved. I missed last year, so this may have happened last year, but I was unaware. It's a great mix of multicultural awareness. And oh my god, it's a great mix of food to get. The food selection has expanded and you can get food from the churches, from street vendors, and now from food trucks from around the area. I left here this year so full of so many different foods that I could have had the UN in my stomach. My stomach was at harmony. Too bad that this only happens once a year and not every single weekend.

So happy Phil will be moving in soon because the library habitat seems a bit neglected.

Definitely worth a visit off season when you can really see all it has to offer!
