5 Fun Things To Do In Bucks County This Weekend

BUCKS COUNTY, PA —Romance is in the air this weekend with the most romantic holiday of the year just days away.

While red will be the main color for Valentine's Day Wednesday, it will also be the color of the uniforms of the Kansas City Chiefs as they take on the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl on Sunday.

Mostly everyone will be glued to their television sets Sunday for the big game or just the chance to see Grammy-winning sensation Taylor Swift root for her boyfriend Travis Kelce.

We may also be tuning in to see whether former Philadelphia Eagles Coach Andy Reid can add another trophy to his mantle, something he couldn't deliver to the City of Brotherly Love.

Speaking of love, there's romance —well, actually an exhibit of romance novel covers —at the AOY Arts Center in Lower Makefield Township that launches Friday.

Before the big game, get out and enjoy some of what Bucks County has to offer this weekend.

You can see "Shrek" for two shows at Bensalem High School on Saturday, including a matinee. Check out the last weekend for the Phillips’ Mill Community Association's annual Youth Art Exhibition.

In terms of Valentine's Day-type events, Sesame Place offers a buffet this weekend where you can eat with Elmo and Grover.

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

"My Fuzzy Valentine At Sesame Place This Weekend

Elmo is red, Grover is blue, both of them can’t wait to dine with you! Treat your little love to a fun Valentine’s Day celebration at Sesame Place Philadelphia in Middletown Township.
