5 Fun Things To Do In Bucks County This Weekend

BUCKS COUNTY, PA —It's hard to believe that this is the final weekend of the first month of the year.

We hopefully have weathered the storm(s) with heavy doses of rain and snow this month and possibly more in the forecast over the weekend.

It's the time to get cozy and warm and sip some hot chocolate as a fire crackles to take the edge off the evening chill. Or you can enjoy the Hot Cocoa Crawl in Dublin.

Speaking of the weather, the Churchville Nature Center in Northampton Township is hosting its "World of Weather Weekend."

Another way to stay warm and cozy is by checking out some art exhibits.

High school students from 23 area schools will showcase their works at the 11th annual Youth Art Exhibition starting Sunday at the Phillips’ Mill Community Association. The show features paintings, works on paper, photography, digital art, and 3-dimensional work.

Besides artist exhibits, the classic "Wizard of Oz" is also offered with a performance on Friday night and two shows on Saturday by students in the Charles Boehm Middle School in Lower Makefield Township.

Lower Makefield Township is also the scene on Saturday to check out those holiday lights for the final time this season at Shady Brook Farm.

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