Big Community Weekend Planned In Wrightstown

WRIGHTSTOWN TOWNSHIP, PA — Wrightstown has a busy weekend ahead, with a Community Day and Yard Sale set for Saturday, May 16, and the historical commission's first open house of 2026 scheduled for Sunday, May 17.

The Saturday event will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Middletown Grange Fairgrounds, Building 2, 576 Penns Park Road, and will feature a community yard sale, Pretzels With The Police, and a chance to learn about the township's community partners, including the Village Library, the Wrightstown Historical Commission, the Wrightstown Food Cupboard, the EAC, and the Anchor Run CSA.

The Goodwill Keystone Area Donation Center will also be on site to collect donations, including electronic waste.

The Park and Recreation Board is hosting the Community Day and Yard Sale, which will be held rain or shine.

While at the fairgrounds, be sure to visit the Wrightstown Farmers Market and stock up on fresh vegetables. The market is open from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., also at the Grange Fairgrounds.

The weekend fun continues on Sunday with a public open house from 1 to 5 p.m. at the historic Octagonal Schoolhouse, 2091 Second Street Pike, Wrightstown. Visitors should enter the site from Swamp Road for parking. The open house is being presented by the Historical Commission.

This month's featured program at the schoolhouse is “Octagonal Artistry," an exhibit showcasing original artwork by Wrightstown Elementary School students inspired by the 1802 Octagonal School.

Students from Wrightstown Elementary who have an interest in local history and art created pieces based on the eight-sided schoolhouse, which is located just over one mile from their school near Penns Park. The artwork project was led by art teacher Ms. Miguelez.

Participating students will be recognized by the Board of Supervisors and the Historical Commission for their contributions to local art and history.
