Before you come
Plan your visit
Everything you need for a smooth day downtown — hours, parking, accessibility, and how to bring your booth to the festival.
Things to know
Downtown Hamburg, PA, at the crossroads of Interstate 78 and Route 61. The festival spans eight blocks along 3rd, 4th, Pine, and State Streets.
Saturday, September 5, 2026. 10 am to 6 pm (beer garden open until 7 pm)
Three designated handicap-parking lots for placard holders (Municipal Center, First United Church of Christ, and Premier Care Family Dental). Note: parking shuttles are not wheelchair-equipped.
For the safety of your own pet and other festival attendees, the festival committee is asking that you leave your pets in the comfort of their home. 7 reasons why: Large crowds and noise cause stress Heat related illness No ample water source Other aggressive dogs People, especially children, with food in their hands is very tempting Hot macadam = burned paws No place to relieve themselves other than the streets where food is being served and people are walking It is a long, hot day for our animal friends, and with the large crowds of attendees, your pet may become apprehensive and respond with abnormal behavior. In addition, they are constantly surrounded by tempting foods and at times have been known to snatch a burger. Please note that pets and any actions they make are the full responsibility of the owner. But, pet lovers, please stop by the numerous nonprofits that support furry friends!
Where to park
Continuous shuttle service runs from the paid lots. Shuttles are not equipped to accommodate wheelchairs.
