Perkasie’s annual Fall Festival will take place from 12pm – 4pm on Sunday October 1st. The Festival takes place in both 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 “All Things Corn”. Visitors are invited to enjoy this favorite fall decoration and flavor from local growers, bakers and from Perkasie’s downtown eateries. The Pennridge RAMs Cheer teams and the Granite Forest Dojo perform in the town center. Win prizes downtown in the pie-eating contests or enjoy a game of cornhole or try your hand at the two-person saw competition. New this year, a HUGE inflatable corn maze is open in the town center. Live music, a fire truck, 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 3:30pm with prizes announced just before 4:00pm. Perkasie’s historic Carousel is open until 5pm. Food options at Menlo Park this year include kettle corn, popcorn, hotdogs at the Carousel and Rita’s Water Ice snack stand offerings.
Councilman Dave Worthington, Chair of the Borough’s Park & Recreation Committee says “We are excited to bring the Fall Festival back for another great year, especially after Hurricane Ian affected so many events in 2021. It’s always wonderful to see our local and regional community coming together to enjoy Perkasie’s stores, café’s, parks, trails and historic town center”.
Perkasie Borough would like to acknowledge the following Premium Sponsors for their continuing support of the Fall Festival: A&T Chevrolet-Subaru, Adams Orthodontics, American Heritage Federal Credit Union, First Student and Gilmore & Associates.
