East Berlin Colonial Day

East Berlin Neighbors presents Colonial Day on Saturday, September 26, 2026, from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM in East Berlin, PA.

Celebrating its 50th anniversary, Colonial Day honors the town’s 18th-century roots and Pennsylvania’s rich living history by transforming Main Street into a bustling colonial marketplace. Visitors can explore the work of over 200 craftspeople—including blacksmiths, weavers, candle makers, and soap makers—enjoy food and music, and tour historic log homes, taverns, and museum exhibits.

This festival combines education, preservation, innovation, and celebration. Attendees can interact with artisans practicing historic trades, offering a hands-on, engaging way to learn about colonial life. The event also supports the preservation of East Berlin’s historic buildings and promotes local history for future generations.

By bringing together local artists, schools, and community members, Colonial Day blends traditional heritage with contemporary creativity while celebrating small-town pride and the industrious spirit that shaped early Pennsylvania.
