Bucks Happening This Week

So much fun, so little time! Here are Bucks Happening’s picks of the week and as always, don’t forget to check out our calendar, restaurant guide, and summer guide for lots of ideas. Plus, don't forget about dad! Check out seven magnificent ideas to celebrate Father's Day this Sunday, June 19th.

On Friday, Ludlow Station takes the stage at 9pm at Triumph Brewery in New Hope. Hailing from northwestern New Jersey, Ludlow Station is primarily an all original instrumental quartet made up of bass, drums, guitar, and organ. Ludlow also incorporates the human voice and saxophone into it's sound. Ludlow Station's musical style doesn't quite fit into one genre, but is more a concoction of jazz, funk, blues, rock, and improvisation.

Swing! is playing at Washington Crossing Open Air Theater

Just over the bridge in Titusville, the musical Swing! is playing at the Washington Crossing Open Air Theater both Friday and Saturday night. A musical that's more than a dance revue crossing ethnic and cultural barriers and highlighting an eclectic mix of Jive, Latin Swing, West Coast Swing, Hip-Hop Swing and Country Western Swing. Includes such swing tunes as “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing,) “Stompin; at the Savoy” and many more. Tickets are $15 and it's recommended you bring blankets, cushions, and even a pre-show picnic!

All summer long, Shady Brook Farm is hosting a Friday night concert series from 6:30-9:30pm. Bring the whole family to hear great local bands, enjoy wine tasting by Rose Bank Winery, and have the chance to relax on the beautifully landscaped E.P. Henry patio. Enjoy crackers, cheeses, chips and dips from our Farm Market, and sandwiches from our full service Deli, or grab a burger or hot dog hot off the grill. Wine is sold by the glass or by the bottle. This weekend, Joe Ganter and 2nd Shift Band take the stage!

On Saturday, June 18th, the Mercer Museum in Doylestown unveils its new wing featuring a state-of-the-art changing exhibition space and Learning Center from 10am-4pm. Admission is FREE & opening day activities include: welcome and ribbon-cutting, meet Henry Mercer, a mercer puppet show, craft activity, craft demonstration, African Rhythms drumming/percussion performance and much more!

Happy Father's Day from Bucks Happening!
