Fun Stuff for the weekend in and around Bucks!

Just because my darling cousin Karyn inquired about local events this holiday weekend, here you go. It made me realize I haven’t posted them yet!

And there are some great events, so say to heck with the weather and get yourself out there and live your lovely life!

Friday Night:

Yey! Fireworks in New Hope/Lambertville at 9:30PM. There are a lot of great stores, shops and eateries open to host you and the family. http://www.newhopelambertvillefireworks.com/

For adults, its Jazz Night at Crossing Vineyards in Washington’s Crossing.  It runs from 8-10pm, the Eric Mintel Trio is performing. It’s $20 per person with wine and cheese for purchase. http://www.crossingvineyards.com/

Also for adults, just in time for Bob Dylan’s Birthday (which is today), Highway 61 Revisited is performing at the awesome little Sellersville Theater. And for my parents, Steve Brosky & Jimmy Meyer are playing one of our favorite little joints, the Riegelsville Inn.  http://www.riegelsvilleinn.com/

On Saturday, there is a Memorial Day Parade in Penndel/Hulmeville. Begins at 9am in Hulmeville.

And there’s a Saturday morning bird walk at Peace Valley Nature Center in Doylestown, and it’s free!  http://peacevalleynaturecenter.org/

For those of you looking for something fun on Sunday, there’s a Naturalists Foray into Herps, Amphibians  & Reptiles at Peace Valley. May be great for a cousin with two little boys… cough cough.

On Monday, there are several parades, including one of my favorites in Newtown Boro. Begins at 9am.

Also, there is one in Morrisville, at 9 beginning at the Morrisville Presby Church.

And one in Langhorne at 9am, beginning at 115 W. Richardson Ave.  And they even have the most FUN event for kids (that we always participated in), which is the decorated bike contest!

Lastly, because I love the Earth Center for the Arts, they host a Monday night class from 7-9 for Wildlife Woodcarving, if that’s your cup of tea. Or wood shavings.   And you’ll get to make a sandpiper decoy! http://www.ec4ta.org/

Whatever you end up doing, celebrate carefully and respectfully. And don’t forget to honor those that this holiday is really about.
