Event Description

The Dandelion Festival 5K Run Walk to Benefit Thriving Beyond Breast Cancer will take place on Saturday, May 3rd at 8 am at Breitenbach Winery at 5934 Old Rt 39 NW Dover.  https://thrivingbeyondbreastcancer.org/ Our mission is to empower the breast cancer community through free stipends, survivorship therapy, and meaningful engagement. We offer support, education, and encouragement, fostering a strong sense of community and helping individuals thrive beyond their diagnosis. Together, we’re building a future where no one faces breast cancer alone.

Every year, the hills of Amish Country turn a delightful shade of yellow when the dandelions go into full bloom. We harvest and celebrate them annually at the Breitenbach Dandelion Festival the first weekend in May. We have family-friendly fun, food, and Dandelion Wine!  There will be wine sampling, Dandelion Sangria, cellar tours, arts and crafts and live entertainment scheduled for both days.

Vendors will be open both days, showcasing their Dandelion products for everything from soap, pottery, handmade jewelry to crafts and more. Dandelion food specialties will also be available both Friday and Saturday, such as dandelion sausage, dandelion gravy, and dandelion sangria.
