Hey everyone! We’re still blown away by how many amazing people celebrated the World Fair with us on Saturday…and we can’t wait to post pics and videos of the event.

But we still have a little bit more work to do to wrap it up today. If anyone is interested in volunteering a bit this morning/early afternoon I could use a little help cleaning up tents at the Presbyterian Church of Milford. We had to rush them in when the rain started.

Thanks to anyone who can stop by for a bit!

Last year I had the opportunity to create something good for my town…we came up with the Hunterdon County World Fair. Along with the most amazing volunteers and community we created a lifetime of memories, built forever friendships and met a world of amazing people.

We get the chance to do it all again today. If there was ever a day to come visit us here at the brewery…today would be the day.

This photo from last year’s event, with my little Lorelei and my nephew, summed up what the event meant to me. Hope to see you today…and oh yeah…I’ll be in the dunk tank in my kilt at 6:00 😂

Cheers 🍻

Calling all awesome people! Bull volunteers needed for Saturday at 2:45!!! We’ve sadly lost the River Rats Running club for this weekend and we need some brave volunteers to dress up as bulls for our Kids Running of the Bulls at 3:00! It’s only about a 20 minute bit of volunteering that will be a memory that will last a lifetime!

To volunteer text Joe at 201-396-8934

Kid's Bull Run 2025 at the Hunterdon County World Fair

06/04/2026

The Hunterdon County World Fair is THIS SATURDAY - June 6th at noon in downtown Milford! Don’t miss the can’t miss event of the year!

Here’s everything you need to know as we celebrate this amazing event!

The 2nd Annual Hunterdon County World Fair is your chance to celebrate Hunterdon and celebrate the world in so many exciting ways! Dance & Music! Food & Drinks! Local & World Artisans! And here’s the best part…so many activities you won’t know where to begin!

The Kids Running of the Bulls is the main event at 3:00 as grownups in inflatable bull costumes chase the kids down bridge street as an homage to Pamplona in Spain! But we kick it off with the Parade of Nations led by the local Castillo Gypsy Vanner Horse Farm at noon sharp so we encourage visitors to arrive early!

Then the International Pet Parade! Dress your pet in your favorite costume or just join in the furry fun and register to enter the dog show judged by internationally renowned dog show judge Andrew Carter right next to the Purr-fect Pet!

Millie the Train will be in town from 12-3! The Milford Fire Department will be doing fire truck rides from 2-4 and Unity Bank will be hosting tethered hot air balloon rides from 4-6!

And just when you thought the party might be over the Burnt Mills Highballers will continue the action in the Presbyterian Church parking lot from 6:00 - 9:00!

And outside all of that we have the Milford PTO boat race at 5:00! And don’t forget to pick up your passport and try our scavenger hunt by visiting booths through the festival!

You’ll find so much to do in our kids zone at the old baseball field and don’t forget to visit Lehigh Vally Viking Age Combat and Timberwolf Cohort - TWO epic combat reenactment groups in Viking Alley!!!

So this is Mark Collins. He’s an ostrich…or an emu…and he’s from Ireland…but he lives here at Descendants now. He’s…our leg lamp 😂

So a good friend of ours decided to snap a photo of Mark Collins and see what ChatGPT thought of him…I think we’re onto something…

Come on out and meet Mark Collins…or the real Mark Collins…he’s pretty cool too 😎. Then snap a photo and see what ChatGPT thinks of your photo. We think this would be a fun game 😂

And take a break from the kitchen tonight! Chef’s got you covered for great food and Joe’s behind the bar serving up some tasty beverages.

And don’t forget! So much going on at Descendants!

Open Mic TONIGHT at 7:00!
Family Night tomorrow all night! Under 13 eats free off the kids menu every Wednesday!
