Super craft show! Many people from different boroughs come. Great camaraderie with surrounding towns. Bedford is wonderful, friendly and accommodating.
Love going. Fun place to get Christmas gifts and have enjoyable.day with family
Bedford, PAs Fall Festival is always well attended and fun to go to. This years last day of the festival was foggy, misty and overcast. But that didnt stop families from showing up and purchasing crabcakes, crab soup, steak sandwiches, venison burgers, fresh cut French fries, sausages, etc. along with fresh squeezed lemonade and sweet tea. For me the food highlight was the fresh-pressed apple cider and the Cinnamon-roasted almonds and cashews!! Lots of handmade crafts, jewelry and clothes too. We also stopped at the Historic Bedford Village just outside town on Rt. 220. A worthwhile living museum of early American life, pre-revolutionary days. Be sure to check that out!!
One of the best! Huge but still walkable in a few hours. The local shops are also open, so you can support the local economy as well.
We absolutely love this festival. We make plans to come every year. Many vendors set up in the same place every year. Weve gotten to know some of them and enjoy revisiting and letting them know how much we love what they are crafting. The charm of this yesteryear town is incredible. There are so many things to see and do. We still have a huge list. You must visit this festival some time. Its so worth it.
Its a very popular festival. I recommend parking remotely and taking the shuttle to downtown. We waited about 10-15 min for the shuttle both ways which seems reasonable. It is busy. Lots to see and do. Including live entertainment on stages and in the street. Be prepared to wait in line 30min for food.
One of the best festivals ive ever been to. They have parking thats $7 and a free shuttle that runs every 15 minutes. They shut down the area to traffic. You have two streets to walk down and shop. All kinds of different crafts. Ive gone the past 3 years. It is packed with people, but everyone tries to be considerate.
Always a neat experience, from homemade crafts, foods and sights sounds and a great feeling atmosphere.
Quite a number of years ago it was all unique handmade crafts. The last few years has been a total letdown. Only a few handmade items. They need to get a new core team to work Improving this Festival to the higher standard in years prior
Lots of shopping. Went through $300 just walking a couple blocks. Everything from hot sauces to bath bombs, mostly country decor. Not a lot of food like I was thinking. Cute little area to buy kids stuff. Paid Parking is tucked in between buildings and alleys.
It was so cold. But alot of vendors
Great festival. Many unique vendors and awesome food and music
The best fall festival anywhere. Beautiful crafts, delicious foods, great music, no alcohol. Very large, takes several blocks. Shuttle service for parking areas.
Plenty of vendors and wonderful people. Everyone seemed to have a good time.
A wonderful arts & crafts show at a great time of year. Even eats. Be sure to bring your paycheck because your gonna spend it all! Walking shoes a must, so much to see.
Much bigger than we expected! Very impressive and organized! Definitely be back next year!
It was a nice festival through the streets of Bedford. The food options werent as abundant as I had hoped theyd be and a lot of the vendors sold the same stuff but it still makes for a nice outing.
Fun, alot of great exhibits
Was nice to walk around, it was a little small but that was expected. The vendors there had mostly nick-nacks, but I did see some very beautiful furniture.
Bedford fall foliage is held the first two weekends of October every year.They have crafts of all types , good food stands and other goodies.They also have a very good display of antique farm equipment and other displays.If youve never been it is worth checking it out.
Updating this review since my previous issue was resolved thanks to a member of the Bedford County Chamber of Commerce reaching out and getting the FAQ fixed. I did end up attending the event with my service dog, and received no access issues. My mother and I enjoyed the event, and Ill definitely be going back again next year.Im still leaving the original review below, and not giving 5 stars, simply because the initial interaction was definitely still highly unprofessional and unpleasant.Original review: Highly disrespectful. I very politely and professionally messaged the page in regards to the FAQ stating registered service dogs would be an exception. Response from the website contact form was non-existent, and response from the Facebook page was slow and unprofessional. I provided a direct link to the ADAs website on service dogs, and explained that by federal law (the ADA, enforced by the DOJ) there is no registration, certification, or other documentation required for a service dog to accompany the disabled handler into public places. 2 days passed after sending that, so I sent a follow up, to ensure it was read. Got a reply saying they hadnt had time to read it. I was polite in my reply once again. 5 days later (tonight) still no reply so I followed up again. Received a message stating We are aware that service dog registration is not required by law. So I replied expressing my confusion, and was met with a great deal of rudeness and unprofessionalism.Unsure if I can add photos to this review. So to see screenshots of the entire conversation, go to Yelp or Facebook.Very disappointing.
There are many nice vendors and shops. A lot of variety and handcrafted goods. The food and atmosphere is amazing. It gets a but busy but thats to be expected
Always a great time. Huge selection of arts & craft vendors. Huge selection of carnival food choices. We go every year!
Im a native and have always loved Fall Foliage. Unfortunately the same vendors always take the same spot with the same product year after year. It would be good if they didnt allow vendors to have the same spot twice just to mix the feel of the event and give a fresh view each year.
People seemed to be exceptionally rude this year. Prices are getting out of control and there were quite a few favorite vendors missing too. Not sure if Ill go back again.
Used to be a quaint festival, a little too crowded now, you can barely walk down the street there are so many people. Good food, great event for Bedford, just a little crowded for my taste.
Lots of venders! Great activities for the kids. Food was a little pricey. It was our first visit. We will be going again next year.
Seasonal tradition in the beautiful Hills of Pennsylvania. Great food, wonderful for walking in the historic town. Supporting folk artist and local organizations
So many vendors! It was amazing and everyone was so nice.
Closed too soon was looking forward to some good baked goods and came out of church to find everyone closed up already . why wouldnt you want to catch the church crowd
So many great crafts!!!!!!
This is great, vibrant Fall festival. The streets of Bedford are packed, plenty of vendors, plenty of food and Bedford gives you a Mayberry feel! If you like fall outdoor festivals put this on your list. Goes two weekends!
Always cool crafts and great finds! I never leave empty handed. I get a decent amount of christmas gifts and birthday gifts while im there.
Very enjoyable experience. Many food options, and a great variety of craft, painting, and goods dealers...and the fresh cider is amazing!
Its a family tradition for us to all go down and walk around and have lunch and see all the wonderful crafts that everybody has made or has to offer I always buy things I bought a scarecrow this year so wonderful experience I recommend it to everybody to go see you next year
Definitely go here. Great food and fantastic venders, And my daughter did the pony rides and loved every minute of it.
As Always a fun place for family and friends to come together. My family and I look forward to going every year!!! This year we invited a friend that lives 2 hrs away!!!
Ive been coming here for years. So many vendors, and crafts, and great food. Never disappointed.
Always love going. Just wont go on the 1st day again . Way too crowded. Couldnt see the vendors tents.
Always enjoy the festival! Lots of great food and craft vendors. Wouldnt miss it!
400 vendors. Great festival
Great festival, will definitely be going again!!
Love going to Bedford fall festival lots of crafters on 4 blocks plus food large childrens area by lower fort by water kayaks ponies and crafts kids can make been going every year since 1990
Bunch of snootie people with way over priced everything. Way too crowded and not worth the time or money going. People try and rip you off with stuff for sale that you can get off of eBay from half or less of the price they are selling it there.
Excellent selection of vendors offering various high quality crafts, foods, and entertainment in a wonderfully charming colonial esque town.
There were a lot of food stands and product stands. Live music was being played in a couple of locations. Most of the parking was at two locations Old Bedford Village and the Bedford Fairgrounds where a bus picked you up and dropped you off intown.
We love the fall foliage festival in Bedford! All the vendors and new things to see every year!! Wouldnt miss it!
Lots of wonderful food and vendors. While youre there also check out Boyer Orchards! Great fruit!!!

Great opportunity to shop local vendors and get one of a kind gifts and decorations for yourself.
A very fun weekend, lots of excellent crafts and food.
Event feels very unorganized, parking everywhere, people charging you to park in there yard. Free admission, but everything overpriced. Expect huge crowds opening day.
Had fun. Packed. Lot of vendors and things to see. Would go back. Just be ready for shoulder to shoulder people.

Super fun festival in a historic town that has remade itself as upscale without any of that snooty gentrification!
Made a family weekend out of this festival. Good entertainment, food and crafts.
If you have never been to Bedford,PA during the fall...you are missing out. The Fall Festival is another benefit...2 weekends in October.

2018-10-07A great way to ring on the fall! Crafts, local food and drink. Many artisan wares. Even a top notch theater for your kids to participate in!
Review №2
2019-04-12Shop til you drop. So many vendors, its unreal. Lots to do for the kids too. AND, lots and lots of food. Pumpkin funnel cakes are scrumptious.
Review №3
2018-10-14Lots of crafters, food booths, and activities for kids. Could have used a bit more signage to find restrooms. But all in all a lot to see. Looking forward to next year.
Review №4
2021-10-12Really good selections of vendors and food. There are even activities for the kids to do. Love the wide range of vendors, from mushroom growling kids, jewelry, dog and cat treats, wood carvings, etc. The fact that more and more vendors are taking credit cards really helps with people who rarely have cash on them. We went on the last day around noon and had no issue finding $5 parking.

2022-02-02Just like most of Bedford county, full of conceited people full of themselves. To quote Weird All, Id rather clean all the bathrooms in Grand Central Station, with my tongue then go to Fall Foilage.

2021-10-14Such a wonderful experience! So many vendors of different types. Something for everyone. Lots of wonderful food and great entertainment all day long. We will definitely be back next year!
Review №7
2021-10-30Large craft fair held the first two weekends of October in downtown Bedford, PA. Food and craft vendors line the streets. Theres an abundance of food trucks along with the fire department and local churches selling fun food, and the craft booths have a variety of homemade goods on display. Great fall craft festival to visit and spend some quality time with family and friends. A yearly tradition for many.

2021-10-14Never been there before. There were a lot of vendors and food trucks. It was a nice time for the family to get out together. Some of the vendors were very unique, but nothing really caught our attention.

2021-10-28Great festival til a vendor doodle scoopers started ripping off multiple peopleBEWARE OF DOODLE SCOOPERS OF GREENSBURG PAOn 10/4 we went to Bedford for the foliage festival and purchase some treats for our fur babies. Our purchase was $8.52 total. I shortly saw 2 extras charges on my statement of $83.24 x2 totaling $166.48 on top of the $8.52 charge. I searched and found the vendor trying to communicate to get this resolved professionally first. They said they would be mailing me a check would not provide tracking when I asked for it. After no receipt I recontacted them asking for payment via electronic means ASAP. They said I was to get it Tuesday here it is Thursday and still have not received it. They will be reported as fraud and blasted everywhere of this rip off and I am not the only one.

2021-10-03I usually love to go to this festival but it just seems there are so many booths with the same exact items. And there were definitely less booths then previous years.
