Soccer headquarters, judgy hydrangeas and food galore
If you’re ever curious how I spend my mornings, it’s watching my groundhogs sprint across the lawn with balls of leaves in their mouths. It’s a mom and 3 babies so my 😍 reaction is in full effect.
And I’m going to give you some great options for the weekend, but you could always fall back on watching the wildlife in your yard. It’s like you don’t even need me.
Not your mom’s garden tour
Ever wanted permission to peek behind Doylestown’s most enviable hedges? Sunday is your chance. The Kitchen & Garden Tour opens the gates to some of the area’s best private properties. This includes an 1870 Victorian with its own aviary garden (because apparently regular gardens aren’t ambitious enough) and the former home of James A. Michener.
Local Master Gardeners will also be on hand to answer questions and confirm that yes, your hydrangeas are judging you.
The beautiful game
The world’s biggest soccer tournament is practically in our backyard this year. And if you’re going to spend 90 minutes yelling at a referee who can’t hear you, at least do it properly.
Villa Capri is turning up the atmosphere with full game audio, an outdoor viewing area and enough wood-fired fuel to get you through even the most emotionally exhausting penalty shootout.
Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just there to support your boyfriend, consider this your headquarters all weekend long.
When you can’t decide what to eat
Forty-plus food trucks. Three days. Zero nutritional accountability. Foodees Fest rolls into town with enough slow-cooked barbecue, street tacos and deep-fried creativity to make your smartwatch suggest a nap.
Between bites, wander through the local creators showcasing everything from original crafts to one-of-a-kind finds. It’s basically a neighborhood block party that skipped straight to dessert.
The ‘no crowds’ club
If large, sweaty festival crowds sound like a punishment (well when ya say it that way…) McConkey’s is a bit more civilized. Held Saturday morning in Washington Crossing, it’s an outdoor mix of unique history, local creators and the kind of home accents you definitely don’t have room for but somehow follow you home anyway.
And with live music, coffee and a river view you can easily pretend you’re a well-adjusted person who enjoys being outside when it’s 87.
Whatever you end up doing, I hope you get out there and enjoy the weekend before Monday rolls back around.
And hey, if you see me with a taco hanging out of my mouth, come say hi. Just don’t ask me how tracking my calories is going 🙈
May your flowers call you Master Gardener,
