The Weekend Planner: Peach Picking, Sidewalk Sales, Movies and Music

Looking to step out of the box and break your routine this weekend? Despite the possibility of showers on Saturday, the weekend weather looks promising. Here are some events to check out in Bergen County this weekend:

Saturday

•  Peach Picking Season Opens at Demarest Farms: This highly anticipated annual event brings families from all over the area out into the orchards to pick ripened peaches from the trees. The kids will love riding on the tractor hayride through the farm's fields and picking peaches so weighted with ripeness that the branches are nearly touching the ground. And after peach picking, enjoy some fresh ice cream at the farm store. Demarest Farms is located at 244 Wierimus Road, Hillsdale. 

•  Ridgewood Sidewalk Sale: It's here! And it's this weekend. Ridgewood's annual sidewalk sale offers many seasonal bargains. Calling all ladies--make sure you get to Fox's--their already low prices will be even lower. Sign-up for their email and get a $10 discount coupon to be used this weekend.
