Festival features include:

• A petting zoo and pony rides.
• Kids games and prizes.
• A variety of demonstrations, including cider-pressing, crafts -- spinning, lace-making and weaving, and blacksmithing
• A giant pumpkin contest.
• Gypsy fortunetelling and ghost stories.
• Tours of the Hopper-Goetschius House.

The Upper Saddle River Library is co-sponsoring the event.

The event will run from 1-4 p.m. on the grounds of the Hopper-Goetschius House Museum, 245 Lake St., Upper Saddle River.

At least 277 years old, the Hopper-Goetschius house is the oldest remaining house in Upper Saddle River. The Hopper family built the house and farmed a large area of land. It became the Rev. Stephen Goetschius' home in 1814, and it stayed in his family for a century and a half.
