RECAPTURE YOUR HISTORY
At the 30th Annual Heritage Festival
In today's hectic, fast-paced world, we often
overlook our past and the rich transportation
history of Berks County. On Saturday & Sunday,
October 1 & 2 the Berks County Parks & Recreation
Department presents the annual Heritage Festival
from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Berks County
Heritage Center. Come and recapture your past at
this festival dedicated to celebrating our area's
history and transportation heritage through
demonstrations, exhibitions, music, lectures,
walks,
and arts & crafts.
Bring blankets or lawn chairs to enjoy the many
performances throughout each day. A variety of
refreshments will be available both days.
Admission is FREE to the public, with a $2.00
