5 Fun Things To Do In Bucks County This Weekend

BUCKS COUNTY, PA —Poor April 6-7.

It's a tricky weekend. Last week was Easter Weekend and next week will be Earth Day festivities throughout the region.

And with an earthquake that shook all of us up Friday and the solar eclipse that everyone will watch Monday, this Saturday and Sunday might not get the usual love that would normally come.

So let's not forget to check out some cool events on a weekend sandwiched between some pretty amazing events.

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

Big" —The Musical Playing At Bristol Riverside Theatre

12-year-old Josh Baskin knows one thing: being a scrawny 12-year-old boy stinks. But when a rusty arcade machine magically grants his wish to be grown up he discovers that, there’s more to being an adult than he bargained for. Based on the 1988 smash-hit film, Big is a fun-filled musical perfect for the entire family. The event is at the Bristol Riverside Theatre, 120 Radcliffe St., Bristol, through April 14, recurring weekly on Sunday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Tickets are $65.

"Hidden Gems: Fashioning A Legacy" Exhibit At Pearl S. Buck House

In celebration of Pearl S. Buck International’s 60th anniversary, a special two-month limited exhibit, "Hidden Gems: Fashioning A Legacy," is on view at the Conference Center on the grounds of the historic Pearl S. Buck Estate, 520 Dublin Road, Perkasie 18944. The exhibit showcases the best representations of Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winning writer, humanitarian, and activist Pearl S. Buck’s personal style through her intact collection of American and Asian fashion, jewelry, shoes, handbags, hand fans, gloves, and associated archival material. A woman well ahead of her time, Ms. Buck had a distinctive style. She had the opportunity to live in two vastly distinct cultures and carefully chose clothing and accessories to represent the two halves of herself and her life. The fashions exhibited will also be used as the vehicle to tell the story of Pearl S. Buck International’s work and impact since 1964. Visitors will learn not just about Ms. Buck’s unique personal style and that of American women in the early 20th century but will understand the impact the foundation has had over 60 years and how they can continue Ms. Buck’s humanitarian, cross-cultural, and educational legacy.
