Cocktails at the Castle
The Mercer Museum’s annual major fundraiser Cocktails at the Castle returns to Doylestown, Bucks County, PA on Saturday, October 11, 2025, from 6 – 10 P.M., 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. This year’s current list of culinary partners includes Aurora Bistro, Carve 52, Chambers 19, The Coffee Scoop, Cross Culture Fine Indian Cuisine, Doan Distillery, Empanada Mama, Genevieve’s Kitchen, Las Frida’s Mexican Kitchen, Luberto’s Brick Oven Pizza & Trattoria, Saporito Fresh Pasta, Simply Fresh by McCaffrey’s, Vernafern, Water Wheel Tavern, Wegmans, and Wycombe Vineyards.
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 from Le Macaron French Pastries, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Pierre’s Chocolate, and Sweet Victory.
