5 Fun Things To Do In Bucks County This Weekend

BUCKS COUNTY, PA —It's not the Dog Days of Summer yet.

But June's arrival means it's time for festivals to begin —and two in Bucks County this weekend will focus on pooches.

We enter the month of June and the start of the summer swoon with holidays such as Father's Day, Juneteenth, and the official start of the season of sun.

Festivals will be the focus as June, July and August heat up. Every Bucks County community will offer something that will be rather unique.

We usually talk about the dog days of summer in August. But this weekend, there are two events that sort of serve as an opening act.

Take what's going on in Warminster this weekend.

It's the annual Bucks Arts & Barks Pet and Family Fest at Warminster Community Park on Sunday, an event dedicated to dogs.

Meanwhile, the first Langhorne Arts Fair will take place on Saturday with a Dog Art Challenge.

And while it's not in Bucks County, Horsham Day in Horsham Township Saturday is just a stone's throw from the county line and Warminster Township and offers lots of fun and food for families, including fireworks at night.

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

Annual Bucks Arts & Barks Pet and Family Fest Sunday
