Fall Festival at Newlin Grist Mill
September 21 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
History, Archaeology, & Family Fun!
A local favorite, the Fall Festival features a wide variety of historic skills and trades demonstrations, hayrides, and hands-on activities for kids of all ages! This year, the site’s archaeology festival has been incorporated into the Fall Festival, so the event will also include archaeological excavations and activities, plus displays from local historical organizations. In addition there will be vendors of handcrafted goods in the Colonial Market, locally-made beer and wine at the Tavern, a Community Corner featuring local businesses and organizations, and food vendors.
Admission to the Fall Festival is free. Parking is $5 per car.
Shuttle buses between the parking area and the festival site will run every 15 minutes throughout the event. Additional costs may apply for certain activities.
The Fall Festival is held in partnership with the Delaware County Planning Department and is made possible in part by the generous sponsorship of Team Toyota of Glen Mills & Univest Insurance, with additional support from Amerihealth Caritas, Chandler Funeral Home, H&H Heating and Air Conditioning, IT Edge, John Milner Architects, Visit Delco PA, Wegmans, and WSFS Bank.
