A range of fun family events for our neighbors and community are planned and quickly approaching this fall at the historic Pearl S. Buck Estate.  

Oktoberfest

Join us on Sunday, October 22 from 12-4 pm for our Oktoberfest celebration. This family-friendly event will take place all around our sprawling 67-acre estate.

Enjoy a variety of kids’ games and activities, including pumpkin painting, sidewalk chalk, arts and crafts, a scavenger hunt, and storytelling stations.

Listen to the talented musical stylings of Polkadelphia, not your ordinary oompah band, playing traditional German and Polish favorites as well as more modern covers.
