Time of Year
The Festival is held the first weekend of May on the riverbank of the beautiful Susquehanna in scenic West Pittston. The time of year is picked to provide a festive spring atmosphere, a spirit and sensation of rebirth, and most importantly, to celebrate the blossoming of the local Cherry Blossoms.
Hudreds of patrons flock to this spot every year to get a taste of the foods, watch a live performance, or buy locally-produced artwork and crafts. Visit our town at the next festival to feel the excitement of the upcoming year, just as our residents have for decades.
