Warren County Wanderings

Starting May 18, 2022

"It’s always tea time.”- The Mad Hatter, in Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland

Did someone say teapot races? The second annual Rock & Roll Steampunk Fair is happening this Saturday in Washington Borough and yes, you may witness teapots on wheels, like the one pictured here from the Washington BID's Facebook page, rolling down the pavement!

So get decked out in a creative costume and meet fellow Steampunk fans, from near and far! (Or just come as you are to enjoy an interesting music and arts festival. Fan status not required, but perhaps you will become one!) The Explore Warren team will be joining in on the fun as a vendor; find our table on the main drag near Buttzville Brewing to say hello and enter for a chance to win free admission to the Balloon Fest being held June 3-5, just a hop, skip and a jump down Route 57 at Warren County Community College.

As always, there are many other happenings going on this week in Warren County, including Yellow Brick Road: A Tribute to Elton John at Centenary Stage Co. So wherever you roam, happy trails and Happy Wanderings!

Warren County Hot Air Balloons, Fun & Games Festival returns to Warren County Community College for a weekend of fun. In addition to balloon activities like daily Mass Hot Air Balloon Launches and tethered rides, the festival features games, vendors, food trucks, car & truck show and more! Celebrate Warren County's upcoming 200-year birthday with the America One - US Flag Balloon! The balloon will inflate and glow around 7:15pm, along with Fred G Monster,  the RE/MAX hot air balloon and a few others. In addition, kids can pick up their LED wristbands at the Balloon Ride Tent, prior to The Balloon Glow Show, to make it an interactive glow! And learn about some Warren County history each day when Henry Skirbst presents will delight (and maybe even scare) all ages as he tells tales of Warren County, including a few ghost tales.
