This beloved Adams County farm festival combines strawberries, wagon rides, live music, food trucks, artisan vendors, scavenger hunts, and family activities into one gloriously wholesome weekend near Gettysburg. Come prepared for fresh air, berry-stained fingers, and at least one child loudly declaring that strawberry milkshakes should count as a food group.

Top Picks for Families
Strawberry Desserts & Farm Market Treats
The strawberry lineup is the undeniable star here. Expect strawberry sundaes, strawberry milkshakes, strawberry baked goods, fresh berries, and desserts that somehow taste even better while sitting outside on a farm pretending calories do not exist on festival weekends.
Parent hack: Buy extra baked goods before you leave. Future You deserves strawberry pie too.
Wagon Rides Around the Farm
Wagon rides give families a chance to slow down, enjoy the orchard scenery, and experience the farm beyond the market area. It is one of those simple activities that children somehow remember forever.
Parent hack: Ride earlier in the day for shorter waits and slightly less “everyone has already consumed pure sugar” energy.
Scavenger Hunts, Crafts & Yard Games
The festival includes family-friendly activities like scavenger hunts, crafts, and outdoor games, giving kids something active to do between snack stops and dessert negotiations.
Parent hack: This is a fantastic event for younger kids because the activities are spread out and low-pressure instead of overwhelming.
Live Music, Food Trucks & Artisan Vendors
Live music and local artisan vendors create a relaxed festival atmosphere while food trucks and coffee vendors help fuel your family through “just one more booth” syndrome.
Parent hack: Bring lawn chairs or a picnic blanket if your family likes lingering while kids roam nearby.
Tips for Visiting with Kids
- Dress for the farm. Comfortable shoes are your friend.
- Bring wipes. Strawberry desserts are deliciously chaotic.
- Arrive earlier for easier parking and shorter lines.
- Pack sunscreen. Much of the event is outdoors.
- Build in time to browse the market. Hollabaugh Bros is worth exploring beyond the festival itself.
- Plan for photo stops. This place has strong “accidental family Christmas card picture” energy.
