What is Great American Weekend all about?

Since 1982, the Great American Weekend has been a tradition that defines Goshen as a Great American Community. Originally intended to bolster attendance at the Historic Track after betting was eliminated, the Great American Weekend offers activities for every member of the family and has grown into one of the county’s most prestigious events.

Fun for all ages, 20K people a day stroll the nine-acre village surrounding the First Presbyterian Church. This two day event offers over 150 Craft Vendors, Live Music, Great Food, Children’s Activities and a fantastic family friendly environment.
