Fun Things To Do In Delaware County This Weekend For Families And Kids October 10th, 11th & 12th

A list of the best things to do in Delaware County this weekend
October 10th, 11th, & 12th





What to do this weekend with your family? There is a wealth of activities available for families and kids. We invite you to explore our events calendar, which features a range of family-friendly activities and events to enjoy throughout the week, including weekends. We continually update our events calendar, so there's always something new and exciting to do! 



The Nether Providence Family Fun Day is an annual community event with food, games, and activities, typically held in the fall. The 2025 event is scheduled for Saturday, October 11th, from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM at the Strath Haven Middle School Upper Parking Lot. 



Get ready for a musical experience, ripped from the pages of Mo Willems' best-selling children's books, that will leave audiences doing the "Flippy Floppy Floory" dance all night long! In Elephant & Piggie's "We Are in a Play!" JR., Gerald and Piggie take to the stage in a rollicking adventure. An elephant named Gerald and a pig named Piggie are "bestus" friends, but Gerald worries that something could go wrong that would end their friendship. Piggie is not worried at all. She's even happier and more excited than usual because they have been invited to a party hosted by the Squirrelles, three singing squirrels who love to have a good time. And so begins a day when anything is possible. Filled with joyful characters and lively songs, Elephant & Piggie's "We Are in a Play!" JR. is a perfect way to introduce young people to theatre, making this an excellent educational theatre experience! 



The Ridley Park Fall Festival & Car Show will be held on Saturday, October 11, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM in the Ridley Park Business District. The event is hosted by the Ridley Park Business Association and will feature a car show with trophies, vendors, and other activities.
