BUCKS COUNTY, PA — The second weekend in July continues with the America 250 birthday theme with a Rebels & Redcoats car show rolling into Washington Crossing and a unique gallery show exploring "The Ideology of Revolution" in Newtown.
The weekend also brings the two-day Tinicum Arts Festival to Upper Bucks County and free admission Sunday to the Michener Art Museum in Doylestown.
Here are five fun things to do this weekend in Bucks County. Enjoy.
The Rebels and Redcoats are gearing up for battle, but this time instead of firing muskets, they’ll be firing up their engines. The annual Rebels & Redcoats Classic Car Show is scheduled to roll into Washington Crossing Historic Park on Sunday, July 12 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Valley of Concentration parking lot, located across from the Visitor Center. The rain date is July 19.

ArtWRKD presents "The Ideology of Revolution," a dynamic group exhibition through August 9 at its South State Street gallery in Newtown. Coinciding with the nation's Semiquincentennial, the exhibit begins with a simple premise: every revolution begins first as an idea. Long before governments fall, borders shift, or history records moments of upheaval, there exists a belief — a vision that imagines the world differently.
