5 Fun Things To Do In Bucks County This Weekend

BUCKS COUNTY, PA —Happy New Year!

As we enter the first weekend of 2024, we all might have to weather the storm. Weekend plans might drive many of us indoors Saturday night and Sunday if the forecast holds up and Bucks County receives lots of rain or a few inches of snow or, something we haven't seen in these parts for some time.

When you think about January and the weather, you think about snow —and ice.

That's where Peddler's Village in Lahaska comes to mind for this weekend and next weekend too. Check out its Fire & Frost Fun event which features everything icy.

While the holidays may be over, there's still time to catch the annual holiday lights show at Shady Brook Farm in Lower Makefield Township and the last weekend of "A Very Fury Christmas" at Sesame Place in Middletown Township.

It's also winter farmers market season and you can find two in Bucks County on Saturday: Doylestown and Yardley.

If you're in the mood for music, Parx Casino's Excite Center in Bensalem Township has an Aerosmith tribute band performing Saturday night.

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

Last Chance For Sesame Place 'A Very Furry Christmas'

Sesame Place Philadelphia has transformed into a sparkling Christmas wonderland with millions of twinkling lights, family-friendly attractions, and holly jolly fun, including seasonal special events, tasty treats, and unique photo opportunities with Sesame Street friends in their holiday best.

See Aerosmith Tribute Band At ExCite Center Saturday

While Steven Tyler continues to rest his vocal cords so Aerosmith can resume its Farewell Tour, you can see the next best thing at Parx Casino's Excite Center in Bensalem Township. Pump, the Ultimate Aerosmith tribute show band, performs at 8 p.m. Saturday. Formed in New York City in 2012, Pumps offers an energetic stage show, focusing on all of the 50 years of Aerosmith, while offering an interactive audience setlist. Expect to hear the hits, the ballads, and some rare album tracks from the group's catalog.
