The 53rd Annual Middletown Family Fun Fest is coming back this September. It will offer two days of music, food, and fun for the whole family to Downtown Middletown and Wetherby Park.
The festival will take over the streets on Friday, September 5, from 5 to 9 p.m. and Saturday, September 6, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. There will be live performances, artisan merchants, and activities for people of all ages. Some of the best things to do are the Middletown Parade, the Performing Pups Dog Show led by Tara Bassett, Goat Yoga in the Park, and a KidZone with circus performances, obstacle courses, big slides, a petting zoo, balloon art, and more.
Music enthusiasts may enjoy a packed roster, including tributes to The Beatles and Huey Lewis, while foodies will find 10+ food trucks, cooking demonstrations, and local favorites throughout the weekend. The festival will culminate with a fireworks and drone show finale on Saturday night at Wetherby Park.
