BUCKS COUNTY, PA — Looking for something to do on this snowy weekend in Bucks County?

The event calendar for Jan. 20 and 21 includes breakfast and magic at Sesame Place, bright lights at Shady Brook Farm, a political satire show at the Bucks County Playhouse, a special crafting event for "plant parents" at a local brewery, and vendors setting up fresh finds and handmade goods at the Doylestown farmer's market.

Saturday’s forecast calls for blowing snow and below-freezing temperatures, so Patch recommends checking with the event organizer’s website or social media (which will be linked below) for the latest information.
