Ahead of the unofficial “Star Wars” holiday (‘May the 4th Be With You!’), a Bucks County brewery is releasing a beer this weekend that would definitely be on tap at the Mos Eisley Cantina.
Did we mention there’s also a festival celebrating the mysterious sasquatch, Bigfoot?
Check out what else is happening this weekend in Pennsylvania:
Sasquatch & Snacks – Saturday (Moon, Allegheny County)
The annual Forest County Bigfoot Festival isn’t the only event in the commonwealth celebrating all things sasquatch. The inaugural Sasquatch & Snacks festival is set for Moon Park on Saturday, with speakers like Eric Altman, founder of the Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society, discussing reported Bigfoot sightings in the state, along with food, live music, and beer from Monroeville’s Squatch Brewing.
Neshaminy Creek Brewing’s ‘Star Wars’ Weekend — Saturday and Sunday (Croydon)
With a holiday of sorts just around the corner for “Star Wars” enthusiasts (‘May the 4th be With You!’), Neshaminy Creek Brewing is celebrating this weekend with “Star Wars” trivia, live Light Saber demos, a “Star Wars” themed cover band, and a special release of the new Mangolorian beer.
Pickle Palooza — Saturday and Sunday (Bangor, Northampton County)
If you can’t wait for Pittsburgh’s annual Pickelsburgh festival in July, and/or you live in the eastern part of the state and don’t feel like schlepping across the commonwealth to celebrate the briney goodness of the pickle, you’ve got Pickle Palooza this weekend at Franklin Hill Vineyards in the Lehigh Valley. This big dill (sorry) of a festival features pickle and wine pairings, pickle plates, pickle paninis, pickle-infused cocktails, live music and more.
Waldameer Park opening day — Saturday (Erie)
Erie’s 130-year-old amusement park opens Saturday for the 2026 season, and, good news: the classic Paratrooper ride returns this year. Upgraded food stands will also offer new menu items like taco bowls and Mexican pizza. Parkgoers will also notice changes to Waldameer’s Water World when it opens May 23, following an $11 million renovation project in the offseason.
Tour Pa.’s Blossom Belt — Now through Sunday (Adams County)
From April through early May, Pennsylvania’s Blossom Belt, a 20,000-acre stretch of fruit trees in upper Adams County, is in full blossom, transforming the countryside near Gettysburg into a rolling tapestry of pink and white. This weekend may be your last chance to experience the Blossom Belt in all its spring glory. Use this map to guide you along the scenic driving trail, where you’ll also encounter wineries, farm markets, scenic overlooks, and more.
