  • Things To Do

Perkasie’s annual Fall Festival will take place from noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday Oct. 6. The Festival takes place in the town center, and in Menlo Park. The event sites are linked by free bus rides, or visitors can enjoy the short walk between the two locations.

The theme of this year’s event is “Down on the Farm." 

Visitors are invited to enjoy their favorite fall flavors from local growers, bakers and food producers, many of them familiar faces at Perkasie’s award-winning Farmers Market. 

A huge inflatable farm maze and tractor rides around the town center add to the farm fun. New this year, the AHA Sensory-Friendly Area in the town center offers a quiet refuge for kids. Live music, performances by Pennridge RAMS Cheer teams, a fire truck, petting zoo, outdoor games, a huge raffle, pumpkin decorating, entertainers and a massive vendor fair and food court round out Perkasie’s downtown fun.

Families will also find lots of free fun at Menlo Park, including a petting zoo, balloon twisting, face painting, and pony rides (small fee).

Free fall-themed crafts are under one park pavilion, and scarecrow decorating is under the other. Build and enter a scarecrow in this popular contest (one per family please, while supplies last, or bring your own). Judging is at 3:30 p.m. with prizes announced just before 4 p.m.. Perkasie’s historic Carousel is open until 5 p.m. Food options at Menlo Park this year include ice cream, grilled cheese, hotdogs at the Carousel and Rita’s Water Ice snack stand offerings.

Perkasie Borough would like to acknowledge the following Premium Sponsors for their continuing support of the Fall Festival: A&T Chevrolet-Subaru, American Heritage Federal Credit Union, First Student, Gilmore & Associates and Penn Community Bank.
