Wagon Rides and Apple Cider Return — FallFest Opens Today
Feasterville Trevose, PA · September 11, 2026
Grabbing a second cup of coffee feels entirely justified this morning as the region swings straight into its busiest fall festival stretch of the year.
The Lead
The unofficial arrival of autumn lands across Lower Bucks today as Shady Brook Farm opens FallFest 2026, launching seven weeks of wagon rides, a five-acre corn maze, and fresh cider donuts. For local families mapping out weekend outings, booking admission and bonfire slots now has become a necessity; prime Saturday evening slots regularly vanish weeks in advance once October arrives. The farm’s daytime festival runs through dusk, while nightfall introduces illuminated light displays and seasonal barn attractions. Further north, the Doylestown Arts Festival takes over town streets on Saturday and Sunday with over 150 juried creators, while Peddler’s Village has its annual lineup of dozens of handmade scarecrows on display along village brick pathways. If you plan to tackle the pumpkin patch or catch an evening wagon ride, lock in your digital tickets online before heading out.

Spotlight & Story
- Tamanend Park's Giant Sequoia
- Most walkers heading toward the park's tennis courts pass beneath a towering Sierra giant without realizing it. Nurseryman William Long planted exotic specimens here in the 1950s, leaving behind a thriving California sequoia and three Dawn Redwoods shading the gazebo path.
