Ivyland 150th Anniversary Saturday: What You Need To Know

IVYLAND BOROUGH, PA —After months of meetings and planning for its party, Ivyland will be the center of attraction Saturday as the borough celebrates its 150th anniversary.

Festivities will begin at noon Saturday with a Welcome Ceremony in which Mayor Anthony Judice will be joined by state Sen. Frank Farry, state Rep. Brian Munroe, and founding sponsor TD Bank, among others.

Organizers said residents and guests should expect a lineup of food, music, and special guests.

"We're going to do it rain or shine," 150th Anniversary committee members said in a Facebook post. "Let's hope there's more shine or at least there's very little rain."

Organizers are asking attendees to prepare for potential precipitation. They are setting up tents and canopies to provide some shelter.

Parking is also limited. There are some remote parking options at the Milton Roy parking lot off Ivyland Road, and the Berger Brothers parking lot off Jacksonville Road.

There's also parking at The Fuge with a free shuttle service every 15 minutes to the event. The shuttle will also pick up Ann’s Choice residents at each of their three clubhouses.
