The Village Between the Towns
Peddler's Village
Sixty-plus shops, restaurants, and gardens in a storybook colonial-style village — Bucks County's festival headquarters since 1962.
Peddler's Village is a purpose-built colonial-style shopping and dining village in Lahaska, within Solebury Township, opened in 1962 and grown since into one of Bucks County's defining destinations: more than sixty specialty shops and restaurants arranged along brick paths, landscaped gardens, and a working carousel, with the Golden Plough Inn tucked among the shops for overnight stays.
What keeps locals coming back is the festival calendar. The scarecrow displays and competition run all fall, the winter brings an enormous holiday light display and a gingerbread house competition, and food and craft festivals fill the shoulder seasons — a rhythm that has made the Village the county's default family outing for sixty years.

Around the village
The Village rewards wandering: independent shops — kitchen goods, toys, apparel, sweets, galleries — strung along brick walks and gardens that are legitimately well kept, with restaurants ranging from tavern casual to date-night. The carousel and open lawns make it one of the easiest places in the county to spend an afternoon with kids and grandparents simultaneously.
The Golden Plough Inn scatters guest rooms throughout the village buildings, which makes it a favorite base for visitors doing the New Hope–Doylestown corridor — and a handy recommendation when your in-laws visit and your guest room is full.
Shopping & Dining
The festival machine
Peddler's Village runs one of the busiest event calendars in the region: strawberry and peach festivals in summer, apple and scarecrow season all fall, the gingerbread competition and hundreds of thousands of holiday lights in winter. The scarecrow competition alone — elaborate, funny, occasionally unhinged — has become a genuine county tradition.
For Solebury and Buckingham residents, the practical upside is having a year-round events venue in the neighborhood: many locals' holiday photos, first carousel rides, and rainy-Saturday saves happen here.
