A good Saturday plan in Levittown comes with food trucks and a side of history. The Fall Foodie Festival takes over Historic Bolton Mansion, 85 Holly Drive in Levittown, on Saturday, Nov. 14, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Bristol Township's community calendar lists it as the Mommy's Little Black Book/Bolton Mansion Fall Foodie Festival, with food trucks, vendors, pony rides, bouncy houses, a 50/50 and raffle baskets.
Note from Nick: Here's a tasty way to spend Saturday afternoon close to home.
Expect food trucks, a beer and wine garden, pony rides, a petting zoo and a DJ, according to event listings. Bucks Happening's weekend picks, published Nov. 12, also list moonbounces, fire truck rides, a soft play area, balloon art, face painting, sand art, glitter and henna tattoos, plus crafters and vendors. A stilt walker is scheduled from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m., and Red from Red Robin is set to visit from noon to 2 p.m.
The setting is half the fun. The Newtown Gazette reported that Phineas Pemberton, who became one of William Penn's chief administrators in Bucks County, bought the property in 1699 and built a manor house there that his descendants later renamed Bolton. A small stone cottage built on the land in 1687 still stands.
The Gazette's September report said the Nov. 14 Fall Foodie Fest would include tours along with activities and food trucks. Describing the mansion's September festival, which the paper said drew about 70 vendors and crafters and 17 food trucks, events director Tara Barth said, "It's a family-friendly event where the whole family can come out, have a fun day, take tours of the mansion and enjoy themselves." She also told the paper the group is working to restore the mansion and bring more people to it.
Food lovers have another reason to come back soon: Bolton Mansion's events page lists Chocolate-By Your Hand, a hands-on workshop where guests make chocolate from roasted cacao beans, on Saturday, Nov. 21, with tickets at $35.
