Whoopie Pie Festival — Local services in Strasburg Township

I'm a Lancaster County local, and absolutely love whoopie pies. I was so excited for this festival, and arrived just after 10. The regular admission line filed back into the parking lot and would've taken over an hour to get through. I bought a 25$ VIP ticket just to get instant access to the tent. Once you got into the tent, you were met with thousands of whoopie pies with many unique flavors. The line to check out was equally as ridiculous as the line outside. Whoopie pies felt overpriced compared to local bakery or market prices. All over, I was very disappointed. Felt like I spent the whole morning in lines-- I can't imagine if I would've come later in the morning! Glad I could say I tried it, but will not be...

A total must for Whoopie pie enthusiasts; and if you’re not one this place will make a believer out of you! Maple bacon, raspberry jalapeño, salted caramel, cotton candy, blueberry lemon, chocolate peanut butter, plus so many more. It’s in Sept., so you can also expect a bunch of pumpkin and spice variations. I don’t recommend sandals, because there are a ton of geese and they leave little presents on the lawn. Like walking through a mine field. I also recommend bringing a cooler, just in case you decide to sit around, it helps the pies...

Not a festival!!! They bring you into a long maze like rope area on a hot blacktop with hundreds of other people. Stand there and wait your turn to be ushered under a tent of whoopie pies and a crowd. Wait in another line to pay. At noonish the selection was becoming limited. Clearly a money making tent sale experience is more the description of what this is. So if long lines and tent sales baked goods are your thing go to the Whoopie Pie NOT festival tent...
