Linvilla Orchards knows food trucks serve some of the most delicious cuisine in the region, which is why it rounds up a handful of regional favorites for its Food Truck Frenzy events. Planned for April and June, the fests feature vendors like 22BBQ, Korea Taqueria, Victor’s Pizza, Cousins Maine Lobster, Vera’s Water Ice and more. Tickets aren’t required this year, but you will need them for activities, so the orchard recommends purchasing them in advance if you plan on adding a hayride or train ride around the orchard with the family.

While Chaddsford Winery has so many to-dos planned for spring (wine and cheese tastings and puppy-friendly events, anyone?), foodies will flock to the hotspot during Memorial Day weekend, when the venue kicks off the unofficial start of summer. Expect live music and food truck fare for taco lovers throughout the festival weekend. Admission is free, but tables are first come, first served.
2024 Hops for Homes Beer Festival
June 15, 12-5 p.m.
Exton Square Mall Parking Lot, Exton
Beer lovers rejoice! Habitat for Humanity of Chester County gets ready for its beer-centric fest at the end of spring. Sip on some of the finest beers and ciders around, or grab a glass of Harvest Ridge Winery vino if that’s more to your liking. Brewers like Be Here Brewing Company, Conshohocken Brewing Company and La Cabra Brewing will be onsite. Throughout the day, enjoy live music and games while munching on snacks from food trucks like Madi’s on a Roll, Classic Fare on a Roll and Saloon 151.
