Happy Fastnacht Day! Read more about this sweet tradition and check out where to find them today:
Sweet Ride Ice Cream, LLC: Serving fastnacht ice cream sandwiches
Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles: 25 cent fastnachts
Way-Har Farms
Dietrich's Meats & Country Store

Spelled fastnacht or fasnacht, the word originated from the German "fasten” (to fast), and "nacht" (night). By combining the two, the term fasnacht was born. Today, the word describes a traditional donut-like snack of German and Pennsylvania Dutch origin made and eaten the day before Lent begins.
