The family-friendly event features something for everyone with free bus tours of the institutions, live music at the gazebo on Bryn Mawr Avenue, fire engine rides, old time games, sidewalk sales at businesses along Lancaster Avenue and the regularly scheduled Bryn Mawr Farmers Market. Festivities will last from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m.

The free 45-minute bus tours begin at 9:30 a.m. from the Bryn Mawr Trust buildings at 6 and 8 Bryn Mawr Ave.
