🎃 STEP RIGHT UP TO THE MIDWAY!

Welcome to the official homepage of Fur Fest at the Grove 2027, presented as a featured highlight of the annual Music in the Park Festival Fundraiser!

​

Nestled along the creek in historic Easton, PA, our joint weekend celebration brings together live music, vintage carnival rides, local artisans, car show classics, and high-energy costume performance—all inside America's most charming historic amusement park.

​

Whether you're a local family coming out for cotton candy, classic cars, and live bands, or a furry fandom member gearing up for a weekend of dancing, panels, and fursuiting, the Midway has a place for you!

​

Best of all? Every single pass, ticket, ride, and raffle purchase directly supports the physical restoration of Bushkill Park & Grove—funding the historic 1902 Whip Building and Carousel Banquet Hall projects for future generations.
