Spring Fun Right
More Spring Fun
Some of our favorite places, festivals and activities in the Leavenworth area in Spring:
April is now the time for Leavenworth’s newest festival A Taste of Spring. It’s a month-long culinary event, kicking off the first weekend in April with a pear-centric food crawl, offering delicious taste of local Leavenworth favorites. Be sure you stop in at Schocolat on Front Street for a delicious hand-made pear-brandy chocolate. It’s one of Mitzi’s favorites. You can get pear balsamic vinegar at the Oil & Vinegar Cellar, too. All month restaurants throughout town will feature pears on the menu and have food and wine pairings to delight your taste buds.
April will have the Leavenworth International Film Festival. From their website, “Showcasing the best recent independent short films with an focus on outdoor recreation.” This is a fantastic way to get in on a new and fun festival right in our own backyard.
