Some folks love Halloween, and all the scary, spooky stories, and some people are just in it for the candy and apple cider donuts. Luckily the world is wide enough for both.
No need to go far for homemade apple cider donuts – here in the Valley there are two spots that we know of this year where you can get this yummy treat this time of year. Cedar Hollow Farm (2475 Quakertown Road, Pennsburg, PA – past the YMCA) is open Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. In addition to apple cider donuts, you can pick out a pumpkin from their pumpkin patch, go through a corn maze, say hi to the alpacas (among other farm animals), and explore fruit, veggie, baked goods, and other fine food stuffs at their stand. Then there is Hometown Creamery (Rt 29, East Greenville, PA – just past Walmart) where in addition to their homemade ice cream they are making donuts and cookies, including apple cider donuts and apple cider donut ice cream (cinnamon ice cream with apple cider donuts and caramel swirl mixed in). Hometown Creamery is open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sundays from 2 p.m. – 8 p.m.
Tonight, Friday, October 27th, is Open Mic and Karaoke Night at Chibi Cafe (218 Main Street, East Greenville, PA), from 5 p.m. – 9 p.m. All are welcome, free admission.
The Upper Perkiomen Halloween Parade is this Sunday, October 29th, 2023, starting at 5th and Main Street, Red Hill, PA at 6 p.m. The Make Music Upper Perk “Band of Pirates” will be in the parade, walking along Main Street through all three towns, Red Hill, Pennsburg, and East Greenville, ending at the East Greenville Post Office at 4th and Main Street. Anyone interested in joining our merry band on Sunday, or in supporting the group by donating candy, or helping decorate the float on Sunday afternoon, should email valleyartscene@gmail.com ASAP! The parade is a fun community event, where many local groups (Scouts, non-profits, local businesses, school groups, fire companies, Upper Perk Marching Band, and more) join in to put on a fun show for the nearly 10,000 people who usually come out and line Main Street to cheer folks on (and get free candy!).
DCP Theater in Telford is performing a family friendly Halloween weekend show – The Monster Hunters – October 27th – November 4th, 2023, with an additional optional fun event after the 4 p.m. shows on Saturday and Sunday, October 28th and 29th – DCP’s Friendly Ghosts & Treats: A Spirited Stroll with Trick or Treat Fun
Monster Hunters
It’s a typical afternoon in Bumblewood when the weekly meeting of The Monster, Ghost, Goblin, Demon, Dragon, Evil-Wizard Hunters Club (whose members have never caught, seen, or even tried to hunt a monster) is interrupted by a troublesome announcement: a real-live monster has been sited in a nearby cemetery. The mismatched friends anxiously set out on their first hunt ever, only to find that things aren’t what they were expecting!
