5 Fun Things To Do In Bucks County This Weekend

BUCKS COUNTY, PA —The transformation is taking place.

You can feel it in the air as heat waves break for cooler temperatures and planners switch from summer events to ones focusing on fall.

Words like scarecrows and Oktoberfest are showing up in the vocabulary of Bucks County weekend events even though there's still one official week of summer to go.

Festivals are still taking center stage this weekend but there's also a K9s Car Show in Warrington and an "oldies" concert in Bristol Borough. And if you're a foodie, you can sample some of the 13 food trucks appearing at Warminster Community Park on Saturday.

Just to throw out a few other mentions of events not listed below: St. John Bosco in Warminster is holding a carnival. Morrisville hosts an Irish Festival at Williamson Park on Sunday. There's also the Padre Pio Festival this weekend in Southampton. And Shady Brook Farm in Lower Makefield Township is also holding a fall festival.

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

Scarecrow Festival Returns To Peddler's Village

Scarecrow season returns to Peddler's Village in Lahaska with a display of more than 100 handmade creations, all designed to, well, scare the crows away and bring in the visitors. In addition to the village-wide display, the village's Scarecrow Festival takes place this weekend. The festival features scarecrow workshops, live music, a juggling show, pumpkin painting, axe throwing, sand art, and food and drinks. (Read this Patch story for more details.)
