The historic Fallsington Library will open its doors for the annual Fall Concert Fundraiser later this month.

The concert by the Fiddlehead String Quartet is set to take place from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 26.

The fundraiser will use its proceeds to support the library’s programming, including STEAM activities, summer reading programs, and more.

Last year’s successful fundraiser featured the quartet on the library’s revamped second-floor stage.

The Fiddlehead String Quartet is known for its eclectic repertoire that will include a mix of classical pieces alongside arrangements of songs by Radiohead, Queen, and the Beatles.

Attendees will be able to enjoy light fare, library-themed games, and have the chance to bid on dozens of items, including tickets to area museums and botanical gardens, restaurant gift cards, attraction tickets, musical instruments, vintage and antique items, jewelry, art and more.

“We’re thrilled to welcome back the Fiddlehead String Quartet. They’ll be playing a mix of classical music plus songs by Radiohead, Queen, and the Beatles. The auction has fabulous things, too, all donated by our supporters. Last year’s event raised several thousand dollars, and we’re hoping to match that again this year,” Fallsington Library Executive Director Charlene Rendeiro said. “It’s wonderful to see new and old friends enjoy themselves at our library – some of them in evening gowns!”

Tickets for the concert are priced at $25 in advance and $30 at the door. Tickets can be purchased at the library at 139 Yardley Avenue.

Bidding for the auction is open and ends on Oct. 26 at 8:30 p.m.

Interested parties can view and bid on items at go.rallyup.com/fallslib24.

This year’s fundraiser is supported by Parry Insurance and ShopRite of Yardley. Those interested in additional sponsorship opportunities are encouraged to contact Rendeiro at rendeiroc@buckslib.org.
