If you’re athletic, consider the annual Valley Forge Revolutionary 5 Mile Run in April. Held at the Valley Forge National Historic Park, this run takes participants through some of the most beautiful and historic acreage in the park. Not ready for 5 miles or have little ones? No problem! There is a shorter Fun Run designed just for you.

The Japanese Cherry Blossom Festival is held at the University of Pennsylvania and takes full advantage of the mid-April Cherry trees in bloom. Coupled with the beauty of the blooms are plenty of activities centered around rich Japanese cultural influences, including drumming, Japanese art and more.

If you are looking for something a bit more rustic, consider the annual Sheep Shearing Day at the Peter Wentz Farmstead, which is a colonial-era farm. Happening mid-April, you, friends and family can watch the farmers shear the sheep and enjoy a variety of colonial toys and games. Additionally, there are tours and historic arts and crafts.

Learn more about Pennsylvania German culture in May at the annual Penn Dry Goods Market. The market, held at the Schwenkfelder Library & Heritage Center, offers an antique market focused on textiles, quilts, needlework and more.
