Shad Fest is a annual festival in Lambertville. It’s a pretty fun experience. It’s literally right over the bridge from New Hope. There are a bunch of vendors on the streets selling food, ice cream, popcorn, clothes, antiques, and more. We came across some very rude ignorant racist people who were mocking us to «march military style»(referring to us as North Koreans which we’re not btw) but aside from that, the festival itself was a good time and I’ll still give it 5 stars because I won’t let some ignorant low life ruin my time in public. My wife and I explored around town, took plenty of pictures, and had plenty of food and alcohol. Verdict — Shad Fest or no Shad Fest, you should come and visit this part of NJ and New Hope, PA. Food and drinks are all moderately priced and most of all, the food was pretty darn good. There are a lot antique shops and eateries in these 2 towns, you can spend the entire afternoon in New Hope and walk into Lambertville for a visit. The streets are clean, the weather was amazing, and there are some areas that have a very beautiful scenery. And for those who remain prejudice in this country, please broaden your horizons a little bit and perhaps educate yourself during that process. Not every Asian you see in your small town is a brainwashed military nut from the North.
