Stenton's Halloween Harvest Festival

Stenton's Halloween Harvest Festival is coming to the Stenton Museum on Saturday, October 24, from 1 PM to 3 PM. It's a family-friendly fall festival, the kind of afternoon you bring the kids to when you're looking for something to do on a Saturday that doesn't cost a fortune.

The activities are the usual autumn staples. There will be games to play, crafts to make, and face-painting for the little ones. Pumpkin decorating is also on the list, so you'll likely walk away with something you can actually take home and put on the porch. It's a straightforward mix of things that keep kids busy while the adults hang out around them.

Since it's a family-focused afternoon, it's built for all ages. The games and crafts are set up so you can drift from one to the other at your own pace, and the face-painting and pumpkin decorating are the kinds of things that usually draw the biggest crowds. It's a low-pressure way to spend a couple of hours on a Saturday afternoon.

The festival runs from 1 PM to 3 PM at the Stenton Museum, 4601 North 18th Street in Philadelphia, and it's free to attend.
