5 Fun Things To Do In Bucks County Labor Day Weekend

BUCKS COUNTY, PA —So where did the summer go? If you're wondering how you blinked and missed June, July, and most of August, the last hurrah to catch a summer event in Bucks County is over this three-day weekend.

With most schools starting next week after the Labor Day holiday, the time may be right to enjoy some outdoor fun before the weather gets cooler and everyone starts heading to fall festivals.

Before those fall festivals, there's one festival taking place this weekend and next that is sure to draw crowds to celebrate traditional Polish culture. That would be the 57th annual Polish-American Family Festival & Country Fair taking place Saturday, Sunday, and Monday at the Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa in Doylestown.

Nothing says September like sunflowers. And there's still time this Labor Day weekend to get lost in a sunflower field or take a nice sunny family picture. You can do that at Hellerick's Family Farm in Doylestown.

Music Off Main in Yardley also has bonus concerts. There are two this weekend due to rainouts over the summer.

Sesame Place will also send the "unofficial" end of summer on its way with a fireworks celebration on Sunday night.

Here are some of the events taking place this Labor Day holiday weekend in Bucks County:
