Peddler’s Village, a countryside shopping, dining, lodging, and family entertainment destination in the heart of historic Bucks County, PA, will host Bluegrass & Blueberries Month in July, including a Bluegrass & Blueberries Festival on Saturday and Sunday, July 8 and 9.

The Red, White & Blue BBQ Bash, which will be held on Tuesday, July 4 from 12 – 5 p.m., will feature all-American grilled favorites, festive music, and old-fashioned games including sack races, a balloon toss, watermelon-eating contests, and more.
