It comes once a year and residents from all over Bucks County (and nearby) flock to Delaware Valley University’s scenic campus for its annual A-Day, a celebration of agriculture and activities. It’s a family-friendly event that features pony rides, the (best) milkshakes, craft vendors, student-run booths, presentations, and more. Find more information here.

Sat & Sun, April 28-29
Lambertville, NJ

As the weather gets warmer, nature slowly begins to wake up. The temperature rises and the days get longer, and everyone wants to be outside to enjoy the fresh air and be by the river.

And that’s why we have Shad Fest, an annual celebration of the warming weather and the shad fish. But it’s more than that. There’s a local art show, the finest artists and crafters, great food, family entertainment, and more. It’s two-days filled with outdoor fun and food! This year, you’ll find everything from taco salads to fried calamari, shad chowder to hotdogs and hamburgers, plus fresh lemonade and a beer garden in the Lambertville Station parking area. Find a schedule of events here.

Sat, April 28, 8 am – 1 pm
Hamilton Street, Doylestown, PA

The Doylestown Farmers Market is in full swing again for the season! Over two dozen vendors and local food purveyors await you this Saturday. Fresh produce, bread, beer, spirits, pasture raised meats, eggs, delicious condiments and preserves, freshly roasted coffee, mushrooms, dog treats, and more! Also this weekend at the market: a cookbook signing and chef demo from local celebrity authors Kate Winslow and Guy Ambrosino. Meet them, buy their book and get it signed. See the market’s website or Facebook for a full list of the 2018 vendors (and sign up for their email list to see what is fresh each weekend).

Barn @ The Gathering

Come out for all the fine ingredients the Wrightstown Farmers Market has to offer — and hurry, this is their last indoor farmers market before they kick off the regular season on May 5. The produce vendors have fresh, sweet greens — salad mix, spinach, baby kale, fresh carrots and radishes with tops and so much more. LUHV will be there as a pop-up vendor, featuring their delicious black bean burgers and vegan frozen soups. Enjoy market favorites like soups and warm sandwiches, or pick up some local meats like pork, beef, and pastured chicken.
