Bensalem Fall Festival 2019 Is Oct. 5

BENSALEM, PA — Bensalem's annual celebration of community, and the colorful new season, is coming up soon.

The 2019 Bensalem Fall Festival is set for Saturday, Oct. 5, starting at 11 a.m. at the municipal complex at 2400 Byberry Rd.

All day long, there will be live entertainment, a car show, carnival rides and games, food and other vendors and more. There will be an evening concert at 6 p.m. featuring the Urban Guerilla Orchestra, followed by fireworks.

The festival will kick off at 11 a.m. with an opening ceremony featuring the Bensalem Veterans Advisory Board color guard and the national anthem sung by 2019 Bensalem High School graduate Emily Ralston.

New at this year's festival will be a Selfie Scavenger Hunt. From 11 a.m.-3:30 p.m., kids 12 and younger, accompanied by a parent, can participate by visiting pre-determined locations, taking a selfie and uploading it to Facebook or Instagram with the hashtag #BtownFallFest2019.

Everyone who completes the hunt will get a prize, while supplies last, and a grand prize winner will receive a year of food from Chick-fil-A, including 52 free chicken sandwiches. You can download a list of stops from Bensalem's website or stop by the information tent, near the main entrance to the amphitheater grounds, to pick one up.

There will be parking at Bensalem High School for the festival, with a shuttle bus running to the event. There will be no public parking at the municipal complex.
