5 Fun Things To Do In Bucks County This Weekend

BUCKS COUNTY, PA —It's the first full weekend in December and that can only mean one thing: The Red One is getting around town.

Santa Claus is holding court everywhere as Bucks County communities celebrate the holiday season with shows, festivals, parades, tree lightings, and a "Holly Jolly Weekend" at Peddler's Village.

Not to be outdone, George Washington is going to cross the Delaware River a few times this month —whether by boat or by walking over a bridge since water levels are a little lower than usual for this time of the year.

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