5 Fun Things To Do In Bucks County This Weekend

BUCKS COUNTY, PA —Welcome November and all things that lead toward Veterans Day parades, and a Thanksgiving feast later this month. And don't forget to turn your clocks back. We all could use that extra hour of sleep!

With Fall still in the picture, one Bucks County town is hosting its annual fall festival after two postponements due to inclement weather. But Bristol Township hopes the third time is the charm.

If you haven't seen the spooky cool Jack-O-Lanterns light up the night along the Delaware Canal Towpath in Yardley, Saturday night is your last chance. Lower Makefield Township is also holding its Veterans Day parade if you want to take that in earlier in the day before Canal-O-Ween.

Meanwhile, if you love apples, Peddler's Village will have plenty all weekend long. If you love history, have brunch and learn about the Underground Railroad.

And if you're ready to start your holiday shopping early, see some Warminster weekend events. Even Santa Claus is making an appearance.

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