5 Fun Things To Do In Bucks County This Weekend

BUCKS COUNTY, PA —We've reached the "Dog Days of Summer."

With the arrival of the first weekend in August, the sunsets come earlier and temperatures get a little cooler on some days throughout the month. But there's still time to squeeze a few more weekends of fun out of summer before school resumes in a few weeks.

And what better way to celebrate summer than with its summer fruit? Peaches will be prominent this weekend as Peddler's Village hosts its annual Peach Festival in Lahaska.

Or maybe attend Arthropalooza this weekend. No, it's not the name of some major music concert. This event celebrates all things arthropods.

In Lower Makefield Township, they're holding a "5K Any Way" Color Fun Run, meaning you can run, walk and even roll.

Whether wine sipping is your thing or having a cold beer on a hot day, two events this weekend in Bucks County will satisfy that thirst.

These are some of the events going on this weekend in Bucks County:

Everything Peachy At Peddler's Village This Weekend

What's a fruit that reminds people of summer? It's peaches and they will be featured in various forms of food and drink at Peddler's Village annual Peach Festival this weekend. The event from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day will include peach pies, treats, and fritters; live music and entertainment; family activities; and shop specials. Admission and parking are free.

Arthropalooza Coming To The Churchville Nature Center

Arthropalooza? It sounds like an all-day music festival. Instead, it's an all-weekend event at the Churchville Nature Center in Northampton Township. Young and old are invited to celebrate all things arthropods at the center on 501 Churchville Lane, Churchville.

Taking place in the Butterfly House and the Wildlife Gardens, the event will feature Butterfly House tours, games, displays, honey, and insect tasting, a beekeeper meet and greet, crafts, cockroach races, pond dip netting, and more. Admission is free.
