Live Music at Continental Tavern: Ben Selkow
live music
Eight to eleven on the porch overlooking Lake Afton, weather permitting. The 1875 tavern keeps sixteen drafts and nine screens, so the room splits between listeners and the game.

Yardley Harvest Day
festival
Yardley Harvest Day runs Saturday, September 19, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. along W. Afton Avenue, Buttonwood Drive and Buttonwood Park in downtown Yardley, its 57th year. The rain date is Saturday, September 26, and it goes ahead rain or shine unless the forecast calls for heavy winds and steady rain; the committee decides early Thursday morning, so if you hear nothing, it is on. Parking is the thing to plan. There is none in Buttonwood Park or on West Afton Avenue that day. Organizers point to the Tannery Building lot at 19 W. College Ave, the Leedom Square lot on S Canal Street, $10 parking at the Yardley Friends Meeting House on North Main, and pay parking at the SEPTA lot at 13 Reading Ave. A shuttle van loops from the Tannery and SEPTA lots to Cadwallader and Penn Valley, next to the park. Crafters run from jewelry and pottery to woodworking, candles and baked goods. Food trucks, 21 on the list so far, line up in one row on West Afton between Main and Penn Valley Drive. The Main Stage at Main and Buttonwood opens at 10:15 a.m. with Greiner & Schunk; the last act listed so far is Natalie Nineteen at 3:45 p.m. Kids get pony rides, a bounce house by the Tot Lot, and free pumpkin decorating on West Afton near St Andrews Church. Leashed dogs are welcome. Set your GPS to 5 Buttonwood Drive, which lands you at the festival, not at parking.
