Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding announced Oct. 30 Pennsylvanians can get their PA Farm Show food fix at an outdoor fall food fest in November.

The fall food fest will take place in the north lot of the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex & Expo Center Nov. 13-15.

Vendors will be open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.

“While our traditional Pennsylvania Farm Show in January [2021] has transitioned to virtual with public health and safety in mind, we know that everyone’s been wondering how they’ll get their favorite farm show foods,” Redding said. “The answer is the fall food fest.

“We’re excited to welcome some of your farm show fan favorites to the fest - including milkshakes, fried mushrooms, French fries, pulled pork and more - along with some loyal food truck vendors,” Redding added. “We hope Pennsylvanians will come out to support, and taste, Pennsylvania agriculture.”

While the fest will not include the full offering of the traditional farm show food court, many fan favorites will be available from the following vendors:

• PA Dairymen’s Association (Saturday and Sunday only);

• PA Livestock Association;

• PA Mushroom Farmers;

• PA Potato Growers;

A full menu of product offerings is available online.

“We’re thrilled to see a new event at the PA Farm Show Complex & Expo Center,” Visit Hershey and Harrisburg President and CEO Mary Smith said. “The facility and its hardworking staff are a crucial component of the region’s local economy and tourism success. We applaud the extraordinary efforts made to safely host the fall food fest in our destination.”

Parking is free for this outdoor event, where food and beverages will be available for purchase to grab-and-go only.

On-site seating will not be available.

Masks are required on-site and patrons are asked to be respectful of 6-foot social distance while waiting in vendor lines.
