SOMERSET, NJ – Sponsored by the Somerset County Park Commission’s Environmental Education Center (EEC), the festival offers a glimpse into the American colonial era. Scheduled activities include performances by eighteenth-century reenactors and musicians specializing in authentic colonial music. The day will also showcase colonial crafts, trade demonstrations, Revolutionary War militias, and a cider pressing demonstration.

In case of heavy rain, the event will be relocated to the EEC at 190 Lord Stirling Road. Dogs are not permitted at the festival. A suggested donation of $5 per person is encouraged.

For additional information, contact the Somerset County EEC at 908-722-1200, ext. 5002. Those with hearing or speech impairments can reach out through the Relay Service by dialing 711.
