5 Fun Things To Do In Bucks County This Weekend

BUCKS COUNTY, PA —It's Easter weekend.

So a Good Friday to all and a Happy Easter Sunday to all who celebrate. As we close out the final weekend of March (already!) and get ready for those April showers, we also welcome the return of Major League Baseball and our hopes that the Philadelphia Phillies can have a strong season.

Hope springs eternal, as the saying goes.

While many people —well, mainly children —will get an Easter basket on Sunday, a lot of kids will be chasing after eggs during those traditional Easter Egg Hunts that many Bucks County communities plan to hold this weekend.

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