Weekend Stuff Sept. 28-Oct. 1: A Past Travels Calendar

POTTSTOWN PA – It’s an event-filled weekend. Five artists take the stage Friday night for a free concert in Pottstown. Saturday is Trappe Day at Collegeville’s Waterworks Park. Expect Limerick Community Park to be extra busy Saturday with the return of Limerick Uncorked. And Lower Pottsgrove’s Historical Society hopes you’ll visit its fund-raising yard sale, also Saturday.

Get out and do something!

Some weekend events are free. Some have fees (labeled as “ticketed”). Some have limitations, registrations, or other conditions. Some may be affected by weather conditions (hint: if unsure, call before you go). Each weekend listing includes a link for more information.
