Old Langhorne Harvest Day Moved To Sunday For Weather

LANGHORNE, PA — A weather forecast full of wind and rain has caused officials to reschedule the 2018 Old Langhorne Harvest DAy, which had been set for Saturday.

The festival, at 111 W. Maple Ave., is now scheduled for 10 a.m.-3 p.m. on Sunday.

Saturday's National Weather Service forecast for Langhorne is calling for a 90 percent chance of rain which will be heavy at times. Wind was the real issue here, though, according to officials. Winds are forecast to be 11-18 m.p.h., with gusts as high as 33 m.p.h.

Between a half-inch and three-quarters of an inch of rain is forecast for Saturday.

Sunday's forecast, meanwhile, is calling for just a 20 percent chance of rain, with that rain expected to be showers.

Live music, food, children's activities, shopping with local vendors and more is planned for the festival. Line-up for a costume parade, with prizes for winners, will begin at 12:30 p.m.

Vendors participating in Harvest Day are expected to include Lu La Roe, Tastefully Simple, LipSense, Papparazzi Jewelry, Dot Dot Smile, Avon, Thirty One Gifts, Discovery Toys, Oragami Owl, Scentsy, Stella and Dot, and Damsel in Defense.

Organizers say that all attractions will be set up on paved streets, so mud from the rain should not be a problem.

Langhorne Borough has announced the following road closings and parking restrictions for the festival on Sunday:

• The temporary parking restrictions and road closures will be from 7 a.m.-4 p.m.
• Street parking will not be permitted on Maple Avenue between Hill Avenue and Pine Street (Route 413) as well as on Bellevue Avenue between Richardson Avenue and Watson.
• There will be no parking on portions of Richardson Avenue from Green Street to Pine Street in order to keep traffic moving smoothly.
• Portions of Green Street will also have no parking in order to keep traffic moving safely and allow for safe turning onto and off of Maple Avenue.
• Maple Avenue will be closed to traffic from Route 413 (Pine Street) to Green Street. Bellevue Avenue will be closed from Richardson Avenue to Watson Avenue.
