Jonquils are in bloom at Historic Washington State Park and a tremendous line-up of Entertainment and fun await those who will be visiting the park on March 15th through 17th for the 51st Annual Jonquil Festival.

In addition to our crafters and food concessions, festivities will include the Four States Iron Munchers, 5K run, and karaoke competition.

The Hempstead County Volunteer Fire Departments will be having a Fish Fry Fundraiser Saturday evening from 4-6pm prior to our free evening concert starring Buddy Jewell at 7pm.

If I could mention only one thing that makes our festival stand out from all other festivals it would be the “Atmosphere”.  Strolling the board walks, watching children play in the jonquils, picnicking on festival food or enjoying music under the entertainment tent, there is something for every family member to enjoy. After shopping and enjoying a great meal, you will want to experience history in the 19th century by touring locations such as the Weapons Museum, the Print Museum, and the Blacksmith Shop, famed home of the Bowie Knife!

Williams Tavern Restaurant will be open serving its delectable buffet all three days from 11am – 3pm.

Admission to the festival is free, however there is a $5 parking fee.  Tours are at regular price.
