MIDDLE TOWNSHIP — The township’s Olde Tyme Harvest Festival returns Saturday after a 2020 COVID-19 cancelation.
Ready for its 23rd year, the event will feature carnival rides and inflatables and more than 100 vendors selling crafts along Mechanic Street.
Mechanic and Boyd streets will be closed to traffic for the event, according to organizers. There will also be games set up in the county parking lot behind the courthouse and food and entertainment in the municipal parking lot.
Entertainment will include the bands Animal House, Independence Day and the Middle Township High School Band. Local dancers from Turning Pointe and Atlantic Coast also will perform.
“The Harvest Festival celebrates everything that’s great about Middle Township — community, support for local businesses and plenty of family-friendly fun,” said Mayor Tim Donohue. “We know our residents and vendors are excited for this special tradition to return, and so are we.”
