Harvest Day Uncertain With Weekend Weather In Yardley

YARDLEY, PA —The 55th annual Harvest Day might have to wait a little while longer to mark its milestone.

With a forecast calling for rain all weekend, organizers may have to reschedule the annual borough festival for the second time in a month. Even a Sunday rain date looks grim.

"The weather forecasts look dicey. Accuweather and Weather Underground right now are both calling for steady rain all day," Harvest Day Co-founder Rich Wayne told Patch. "We will make a decision early Thursday morning."

The National Weather Service in Mount Holly, N.J., said that rain moves in Saturday and could last through most of Sunday.

The 55th annual Harvest Day Festival was postponed for Sept. 23 due to the stormy forecast anticipated over that weekend. Organizers rescheduled the event for this Saturday, Oct. 14.

Wayne said this year features a new food truck area, Spider-Man, Mickey Mouse, Henna tattoos, Tarot card readings, and a pet-crafter section.

Yardley Harvest Day will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Fitzgerald Field on Bell and College Avenues as well as along Canal Street.

Wayne said attendees should expect at least 30 food vendors, 145 crafter spaces, a dozen non-profit community groups, two free face painters, two free balloon twisters, five bands, a dance troupe, free pony rides, several hundred free pumpkins to decorate, a bookmobile, a blacksmith, and a bounce house.
