Fall will be here before we know it, bringing with it cooler days, pumpkin spice-scented everything, and the spookiest holiday of the year. Autumn also means some treasured traditions, including this covered bridge festival near Pittsburgh. A unique festival that draws visitors from all over, the two-day event promises a weekend full of fun.
Join in the fun during the 50th Annual EQT Washington & Greene Counties' Covered Bridge Festival, a cherished tradition that features 10 covered bridges in both counties.
The latest installment of the beloved festival will take place, as it has in years past, on the third weekend of September. That’s September 18-19, 2021.
Those covered bridges in the seasonal celebration include such Washington county sites as Brownlee Covered Bridge at McGuffey Community Park, Krepps Covered Bridge in Mt. Pleasant Township, and Hughes Covered Bridge in Amwell Township.
Carmichaels Covered Bridge in Carmichaels and White Covered Bridge in Garards Ford are the two festival sites in Greene County.
Each covered bridge will have its own menu of activities, including live entertainment, an assortment of vendors, and food.
Henry Covered Bridge in Mingo Creek County Park, for example, will feature train rides for kids, a marketplace, and plenty of delicious food – from chicken dinners and pizza to homemade fudge and old-fashioned lemonade.
Check out the official festival brochure for a list of all participating covered bridges and what’s planned at each festival site.
Parking is free throughout the festival, which runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on both days. Even if it rains, the festival will go on as scheduled.
