Labor Day weekend in Bucks is led by two old-school crowd pullers: the Polish Festival at the Shrine of Czestochowa in the Doylestown area and the Peace Fair in Lahaska near New Hope. If you would rather sit down indoors, Storm Large is on the board at Bucks County Playhouse, and Sellersville has a couple of live-ticket options too.
Friday
Indoor plan if the weather acts up: The cleanest Friday move from this week's coverage is to watch the calendars at Sellersville Theater and Bucks County Playhouse. Bucks County Herald posted event items on The Hip Snacks and The Groove Merchants and a second Jeff Allen show, and BroadwayWorld flagged Storm Large at the playhouse. The feeds did not include exact Friday start times, so click through before you leave the house.
Saturday
Doylestown Farmers Market: If you want a low-stress Saturday morning, our Bucks County farmers markets guide notes that the Doylestown Farmers Market runs Saturday mornings in Doylestown. Easy add-on if you are already heading toward the Polish Festival later in the day.
Sunday
Keep Sunday flexible: Holiday weekends get messy fast. PhillyBurbs published a Bucks County Labor Day weekend roundup, and The Philadelphia Inquirer posted a family list for the region, so those are decent backup tabs if one of the local events below fills up, sells out, or gets washed around by the weather.
All Weekend
Polish Festival at the Shrine of Czestochowa: Patch said the festival is hitting its 60th year, and TAPinto published a fresh guide to this weekend's food, music, and culture in the Doylestown area. Pierogies and polkas are the headline here. Check the latest festival information before you go for hours, admission, and parking.
Peace Fair: The Reporter said Bucks Quakers are bringing the 26th annual Peace Fair back to Lahaska. If you are already in the New Hope area, it pairs well with a walk through Peddler's Village. Check the latest listing for this weekend's schedule.
Storm Large, WOMEN OF NOTE Series: According to BroadwayWorld, Storm Large is performing at Bucks County Playhouse in New Hope as part of the WOMEN OF NOTE series. If you want air conditioning, a seat, and a drink at intermission, this is your move. Check the playhouse calendar for the exact date, time, and ticket price.
The Hip Snacks and The Groove Merchants: According to Bucks County Herald, this one is on the Sellersville Theater calendar in the Pennridge area. Good pick if your weekend needs horns, funk, or just a break from festival parking. The feed did not include the exact showtime, so verify before heading out.
Jeff Allen, "My First 'Final' Farewell Tour": Bucks County Herald also reported that a second Jeff Allen show was added at Sellersville Theater. That usually means the first show moved fast. Check the theater listing for the night, start time, and ticket info.
