5 Fun Things To Do In Bucks County This Weekend

BUCKS COUNTY, PA —February is always a month of confusion.

While we keep getting snow lately and the calendar says winter, the groundhog says that spring is coming. Spring Training for Major League Baseball began this week. Meanwhile, Rita's Italian Ice locations are opening throughout Bucks County.

So February is torn between winter and spring.

We're also still in holiday mode. This month alone, we just completed Valentine's Day and are still celebrating Black History Month. There's also Presidents Day on Monday, a federal holiday. We hope that most of you can enjoy a three-day holiday weekend.

You can celebrate Black History Month, Mardi Gras, and chocolate! There's also an adults-only play and the final weekend (yes, we goofed last week!) of an art exhibit.

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

Harriet Tubman Black History Month Saturday In Yardley

Harriet Tubman is back. Shirley Lee Corsey, conservator and executive director of The Gather Place, will present "Harriet Tubman Live!" from 2-3 p.m. on Saturday at the museum on 188 S. Canal St. as part of its Black History Month celebration. (Read this Patch story for more details.)
