New Freedom Fest is an old-time “festival of small town life”. It includes music, dance, arts and crafts, artist demonstrations, animals, food, games, a pie eating contest, an art tent with pumpkin painting, train rides and much, much more – all centered around the beautiful and historic town of New Freedom, Pennsylvania. Visit the FEST page for details.

New Freedom Heritage is a 503c not-for-profit organization dedicated to preserving the rich history and culture of New Freedom, Pennsylvania.
