The Mercer Museum’s annual major fundraiser Cocktails at the Castle returns to Doylestown on Saturday, October 11, from 6 – 10 pm for a night of culinary delights and tasty cocktails all for a great cause. This annual tradition supports the Mercer Museum’s year-round education programs, exhibitions, and community initiatives. The Mercer Museum is operated by the Bucks County Historical Society (BCHS).
Guests will enjoy an unforgettable evening on the grounds of the Mercer Museum with delicious specialties from a wide array of Bucks County culinary purveyors, along with one-of-a-kind craft cocktail creations, a decadent dessert lounge, and exceptional entertainment throughout the night.
The evening will kick off with the Pine Street Stroll cocktail hour, where guests can enjoy pedestrian-only access to a party on Pine Street in the heart of Doylestown’s Cultural District, as well as in the historic quad on the grounds of the Mercer Museum. DJ Brickhouse will be on the turntables while guests take in stunning views of the museum and the historic Log House. Guests will also enjoy the special ambience of the outdoor fire pits while sampling a tasty selection of food offerings from area restaurants.
After cocktail hour, local restaurant, beverage, and catering partners will serve carefully curated specialty dishes to guests both inside and outside of the Mercer Museum. Guests will dance the night away to Philadelphia favorites “Where’s Pete Band” and cap off the evening with tempting creations in the dessert lounge.
In addition to the event, an important fundraising component of Cocktails at the Castle is an online silent auction featuring one-of-a-kind experiences and unique packages. Auction participants do not need to purchase tickets or attend the Cocktails at the Castle event, and all bidding is done virtually.
