It was such a disappointment when Covid happened and not being able to enjoy the fair last year but I'm so excited that it will be going on in 2021. I'm not the biggest fan of rides although the ones here I will selectively enjoy but the best part to me is going through and seeing all the 4H animals including the horses the cows, chickens, goats, rabbits and all the other great showcases they offer. The photography contest is one of my personal favorites and I also love that they do baking contests as well as woodworking and Legos for kids. It's fun for the entire family and has something to offer for all age groups. The food is pretty good for festival food and I believe they've even added a craft beer tent which is a huge plus. I will be returning year after year, no doubt about that!

Having stayed overnight at a local hotel , we wanted to enjoy what we thought was going to be an amazing experience. So we arrive at said location only to be disappointed by the very , very few wine tastings available. Just TWO !?! The rest of the kiosks were artisans , home improvements , raffle wheel , bouncy house , and mostly food trucks or kiosks. That's it. We literally walked around for ten minutes and it was over. We paid , tickets , hotel , gas , time for this !?! We have attended over a dozen wine events throughout NY , NJ , PA. , and never dissatisfied. This was a scam in my opinion. I'm not knocking anyone who may have experienced a better event elsewhere with the coordinators of PCWFF. Just was appalled at the lack of wine kiosk. Overall we quickly left with two souvenir glasses. And a three hour drive back to NYC. We deserve a refund !

It was outstanding, simply outstanding.

OMG its just a very popular treat, eating it as soon as they come out its an amazing experience. We noticed how popular this festival is becoming and more people visiting every year.

There's plenty of activities for the 100,000 people that visits. There were plenty of food tents, a parade, fireworks, carnival rides, arts & crafts, live music, and more. There were parking ordinances throughout. I saw many lots charging a fee and free parking throughout. We were able to find free parking at a municipal parking lot, after some driving aorund. The event was packed! I had apple cider margarita at a booth with live music. Also, I had apple crisp with vanilla ice cream from a church; both items were good!

The price was $15 for adults and $8 for kids aged 5-12. All children are free on Sunday. What perfect timing, we passed by the Mohegan sun booth right in time for the 4pm Tao chef demo session. I've eaten at Tao before, so I was eager to participate. All I had to do was place a $25 bet on the app and it granted my party of 4 admission. The chef was very entertaining. We got a delicious BLT bao bun each and each got a ticket to redeem a $10 drink from a nearby juice truck, Ta' Deliciozo. The juices were made fresh with quality ingredients. To top it off, under our chairs was an envelope with a prize listed. We won merchandise and credit in the app. This was a very good steal! Definitely got our money's worth. We stop by a few tastyfood trucks then watched some of the 6pm Ready Go Dog Show. I enjoyed this event and will definitely be back next year!

We walked around & ended up @ the Mohegan Sun booth 1st. Any one of us (except my niece) could have bet $25 for a free appetizer & drink for each of us. My sister volunteered. The food was from Tao in Mohegan. It was a mini thick bacon sandwich w/ lettuce,tomatoes,& a special sauce. It was pretty good. The drinks were from Ta'Deliciozo truck(Norwich). I'm not gonna lie I found 4 free drink tickets so we all had 2 drinks each. Score!!! I got the guava & then the soursop juice. When I tell you those fresh drinks were soooooo yummy! I then saw a Mr. Softee ice cream truck. I had to get me a vanilla cone w/ rainbow sprinkles. That is my forever order. If you never had Mr.Softee ice cream I don't know what to tell you. You have no idea what you're missing. I also tried vegetable dumplings & bbq breaded chicken cutlets w/ nacho fries . I forget the name of the places. It wasn't that good anyways. Finally, to end it all I attended the dog show! Pretty cool experience overall. I will be back next year!

My group arrived probably at the height of the event (Saturday - noonish) and there was a long line at every food vendor. The festival was much larger than expected and we were there for a good 3 hours. There is live music scattered around the venue and lots of samples from the vendors. You can probably go through the festival within an hour when the crowd is more manageable (very early or later in the day).

The vendors are in their same spot as they were the previous years so I was able to go and get everything that I love, especially the garlic ice cream! It is still $10 to park! It is $15 to get in! They have a credit card option now for entry too. Everything garlic! Fun fall day.
