On Saturday, May 11th the Hershey Artfest will be returning for another year of shopping, eating, and entertainment.

This fun event, hosted by the Hershey History Center, will take place near the Englewood Barn, in the area that will soon be Hershey’s West End. From 9 am until 4 pm, over 150 vendors will be at the Artfest, offering all different types of art including paintings, jewelry, knitwear, and woodwork.

There will also be live music performances taking place throughout the Artfest. From 10 am to 12:30 pm, Roy LeFever and John Christopher will be performing, followed by “Quiet Soul,” a duo featuring Robin McClellan and Beth Trez from 1 pm to 3:30 pm.

There will be a large area for kids to enjoy their own art activities, and the Englewood restaurant will be open, allowing visitors to look out at the festival while enjoying delicious food and drinks.
