5 Fun Things To Do This Weekend In Bucks County

BUCKS COUNTY, PA —Hello Autumn. Goodbye Summer.

With Saturday marking Autumn's arrival, Bucks County was ready to welcome the new season with festivals and events geared toward the Fall, offering everything from hayrides and harvests to pumpkins and wildflowers.

But Mother Nature had other ideas.

Festivals that were planned this weekend in Warminster, Yardley, Bristol Township, and New Hope were all postponed for this weekend due to a forecast calling for heavy rain and wind gusts.

So we all will be able to enjoy those festivals next month.

But don't let Mother Nature rain on your parade. There are still plenty of activities you can attend this weekend —indoors.

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

Alan Goldstein Elemental Exhibit At Michener Art Museum In Doylestown

Using the language of abstraction, Alan Goldstein (b. 1938) explores nature, the human figure, and mortality in his large-scale paintings, drawings, and sculpture. Goldstein works in concert with his media, whether oil paint, acrylic, ink, charcoal, or pastel, to express the underlying structure and processes of the world around him, finding beauty and emotional power in unexpected places. Curated by Chief Curator Laura Turner Igoe, this exhibition presents over four decades of the artist’s work and will be accompanied by an illustrated catalogue. The exhibit runs through Sunday. Prices vary.
