King Nick Fest To Honor Central Bucks Student Killed In Crash

DOYLESTOWN, PA — The Moravian Pottery & Tile Works Museum is hosting a music fest and car show Sunday afternoon to celebrate the life of a Central Bucks East junior who was killed in a car crash in June.

Seventeen-year-old Nicholas Mannino, of Pipersville, was traveling to the Poconos with three friends after attending the senior prom when their vehicle lost control and overturned before striking several trees in Green Township in Lackawanna County. He died June 5 at Geisinger Medical Center in Scranton.

Three months on, his family and friends are set to host King Nick Fest on Sunday afternoon to celebrate his life and his love for music, the outdoors and “all those around him.”

“Nicholas was a warm, smart, caring and loving son, grandson, brother, nephew, cousin and friend, and brought light and immeasurable joy to everyone’s life,” his obituary reads.

“Nicholas lived life to the fullest. He lit up every room he walked into with his bright smile, and he found every opportunity to have fun.”

King Nick Fest 2021, which starts at 12:30 p.m. Sunday, will feature five musical performers and a car show with exotic vehicles.

Nick’s father, Matt Mannino, said the museum was the last place he and his wife, Kim, saw their son before he went to prom in June, columnist Phil Gianficaro wrote for the Bucks County Courier Times.

King Nick Fest will be part of Doylestown Music Fest, a weeklong grassroots event with local restaurants, bars, cafes, businesses and other venues hosting local musicians for live performances. Doylestown Music Fest is scheduled to run from Sept. 18-25.
