5 Fun Things To Do In Bucks County This Weekend

BUCKS COUNTY, PA —Santa, Santa, Santa.

"Oh By Gosh, By Golly" —Santa Claus is everywhere this weekend.

It's going to be all about jolly old Saint Nick over the next two weeks. But before Santa hops on his sleigh and joins Rudolph and company to deliver presents on Christmas morning, he's going to be riding in a lot of fire trucks this weekend, appearing on trains, singing with children, and even sharing breakfast with their families.

Santa is appearing in Warminster and Upper Southampton townships and a host of other communities on both days this weekend. You can also see Saint Nick on numerous occasions at Peddler's Village in Lahaska —and even share a meal with him!

The Third District Volunteer Fire Company will escort Santa around Bristol Township on Saturday starting at 3 p.m. The Croydon Fire Company in Bensalem is holding a breakfast with Santa on Sunday as well. (Check with your town, though, because some winter weather Sunday might wipe out some Santa tours.)

Since we're all in the holiday spirit, there's still time to catch a production of Irving Berlin's classic "White Christmas" at the Bucks County Playhouse. Or go see Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits perform on Sunday at the Sellersville Theater.

These are some of the events taking place in Bucks County this weekend:
