Wow, another Thursday is upon us.
It can’t just be me thinking weeks now fly by at the speed of a toddler who just discovered you left the pantry open.
Anyway, this weekend is stacked. And the best part is you can do a lot of it without even opening your wallet.
Art + snacks
Doylestown is throwing a giant block party and calling it an arts festival.
The Doylestown Arts Festival takes over downtown Saturday and Sunday with 160+ artists, live music on five stages, food, demonstrations and approximately 47 things you will suddenly decide would look perfect in your house.
You know. “Just browsing.”
And if you go Sunday, professional cyclists will be flying around a closed course because apparently that’s how we do leisurely Sunday afternoons around here.
My advice: wear comfortable shoes and bring a tote bag.
Not because you’ll buy anything. Obviously.
Your excuse to hang out near a mansion
The Bolton Mansion Fall Festival is back with local eats, local makers, a beer and cocktail garden, a petting zoo, family activities and even a Revolutionary War encampment.
Because apparently the ideal Saturday is eating, drinking and casually stumbling into 1776. We’re here for it.
Bristol goes Italy
If your weekend plans can be improved by the addition of pasta, pizza and gelato (and whose can’t?)…I have some very important news for you.
The Bristol Italian Festival is happening on the waterfront this weekend with Italian food, live music and enough carbs to make your Fitbit freak out.
Friday night is a little more laid back, while Saturday brings the full festival experience.
So maybe don’t make this the weekend you decide you’re “cutting back on carbs”.
There are limits to what we can ask of ourselves.
A reminder that you can start your weekend tomorrow morning at the Garden of Reflection for the 25th memorial of 9/11.
Whatever you decide to do this weekend, I hope you get some good time with the people you love.
May you not drip your food on the art,
Cait, From Bucks
