5 Fun Things To Do In Bucks County This Weekend

BUCKS COUNTY, PA —October weather can be unpredictable. And with that, some events planned for this weekend in Bucks County have been bumped back due to inclement weather expected Saturday in the region from Tropical Storm Philippe.

But don't fear —Saturday may be a washout but outdoor events should be good to go for Sunday.

The Bensalem Family Fall Festival got pushed to its rain date of Sunday from Saturday. Sesame Place pushed the grand opening of its new retail store to Sunday as well due to the expected thunderstorms and heavy rain. Meanwhile, organizers of the Newtown Market Day are going to make a decision late Friday to possibly move the event to Sunday. (Check Newtown Patch for updates.)

If the weather does hold up, there's also a historic tour of downtown Yardley on Sunday (read this Patch story for details), an apple fest at the Dublin Town Center Saturday, and the Falls Township Parks and Recreation Department plans to get everyone in the spooky spirit Saturday night with a showing of "Ghostbusters," weather permitting of course.

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

Bensalem Family Fall Festival With Fireworks Sunday

Tropical Storm Philippe won't put a damper on this party. With township officials moving the annual Bensalem Family Fall Festival from Saturday to its rain date of Sunday, the festivities can begin. The Family Fall Festival will be held from 2:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Bensalem Township Municipal Complex at 2400 Byberry Rd. (Read this Patch story for more details.)
