7 Fun Things To Do In Bucks County This Weekend

BUCKS COUNTY, PA —Festivals, festivals, festivals.

As we roll along into September, everyone seems to be holding some sort of festival this weekend, whether it be to honor a heritage (there are Polish, German, and Italian festivals), cherish the arts, celebrate family, or just hang out on a porch. There's even a festival devoted to beer!

If you love races, there are plenty to see or participate in as well.

Besides the Bucks County Classic, there's the Garden of Reflection 5K run in Lower Makefield Township on Sunday. (See this Patch story for more details.) The 55th Annual Mill Street Run also starts Saturday morning in Bristol Borough.

If you like history, check out the Tall Ship of Delaware docked at the Bristol Borough Wharf through Sunday. Meanwhile, a popular flea market takes place in Yardley on Saturday. It's been going on now for 67 years.

There are so many events this weekend that it's hard to put them all on our list. So we'll just name a few more before we show the featured attractions.

Parx Casino in Bensalem Township is holding its 6th Annual Car Show from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday. There will be a live band, food trucks, vendors, kids activities, raffles, and more.
