1. 20th Annual Lobsterfest

Mail-in orders must be post-marked May 29! The event is NEXT Saturday, June 6 from 4 pm to 9 pm at Trinity Episcopal Church, 6587 Upper York Road, Solebury, PA

“But you said this article was about things you gotta do this weekend, not next weekend,” you may be protesting. Here’s the thing you’ve gotta do: buy your tickets to Lobsterfest. Mail-in orders must be postmarked by Friday, May 29. You can still order online after Friday, May 29, but the prices go up from $30 to $35 — and it’s not unheard of for tickets to sell out.
Lobsterfest 2015
Lobsterfest is an annual event (this year is the 20th anniversary) that benefits the Trinity Youth Group’s Mission Philadelphia projects. This year they’ll have lobster or smoked organic ribs from More than Q, corn on the cob, cole slaw, plus a whole bunch of carnival food like hamburgers and hotdogs. The Nina’s Waffles food truck will be there to provide a sweet ending to your meal. Besides eating, there are crafts, games, pony rides, face painting, silent auction and live music. BYOB!

2. Opening Day of the Plumsteadville Grange Farm Market

Every Saturday (May 30-Oct 31) from 9 am to 12:30 pm at the Plumsteadville Grange, Keller’s Church Road & Route 611, Plumsteadville, PA

By now, you may have picked up on the fact that we love local food, and the spring season is so much fun because every weekend, another farmers market is opening for the season, bringing with it all the goodies we dream about all winter long.

This weekend, the star is the Plumsteadville Grange Farm Market at the corner of Keller’s Church Road and Route 611 in Plumsteadville.

3. Carversville Day

Saturday, May 30 from 10 am to 3 pm at Carversville Square, Aquetong & Carversville Roads, Carversville, PA

Carversville is a great little village tucked away in the winding back roads of Bucks County. Every year, the town hosts Carversville Day, a day filled with food and fun, laden with traditions like the annual Carversville Pet Parade, a white elephant sale, a cookie contest, and more.

There will be craft vendors, a plant sale, a moon bounce, live music…. they’ve got it all. Oh, and the fare includes crab cakes, tacos, and fresh-squeezed lemonade, which we would go for even without all of the extra fun activities.

4. Eat, Bark & Bid Farm-to-Table Dinner to benefit Lulu’s Rescue

Saturday, May 30 from 5 pm to 9 pm at the Michener Art Museum, 138 South Pine Street, Doylestown, PA

 Eat Bark Bid

This night sounds fabulous: a farm-to-table dinner cooked up by Max Hansen Kitchen (oh so good), an open bar, live & silent auction, music from New Hope Collective, and even visits from some four-legged guests. The fun benefits Lulu’s Rescue’s continuing efforts to rescue all healthy and loving dogs from death row and break the cycle of animal homelessness through spay/neuter, education, and outreach efforts.
