By no means am I giving you the full rundown of weekend fun. It’s stacked, and frankly, I value my sleep. You have almost unlimited options.
My only goal is helping you find the top options. The really cool, the unique and a nice little mix of something for everyone. It’s tough work, but someone’s gotta do it.
Let’s see what I landed on…
A whole fall party
If you need an event that keeps your entire crew entertained without you having to organize a single thing, Bensalem is doing the heavy lifting.
The Family Fall Festival lands Saturday. Stacked with food trucks, activities, live music and a beer garden.
Then at 6:30, things turn nostalgic with an ’80s vs. ’90s music battle. Capped off with fireworks at 8:15? Wow.
I’ll just show up, grab a drink and let them host my Saturday.
Just a little spooky
The Lantern Tours return, offering a nighttime trek through historic Washington Crossing strictly by lantern light. It’s local history, but with 100% more atmosphere.
And frankly, October is the one month where roaming historic grounds after dark sounds like a brilliant weekend plan instead of the opening scene of a horror movie.
When everything goes very, very wrong
If pumpkin spiced chaos isn’t your vibe, trade it for pure theatrical catastrophe. The Play That Goes Wrong hits Neshaminy state park all weekend.
It’s a comedy following an amateur theater troupe where every conceivable disaster strikes at once. Depending on how your workweek went, it might feel like a personal documentary.
Wait, the first weekend of October is actually forecasted to be sunny? Someone check mother nature, she might be broken.
Whatever you end up doing, enjoy it. Fall is arguably Bucks’ biggest flex season.
May you see a ghost on your lantern tour (or not),
