7 Fun Things To Do This Weekend In Bucks County

BUCKS COUNTY, PA — Frost on the pumpkin. A full moon in the sky. And the occasional black cat roaming the alleyways. It's Halloween in Bucks County with no shortage of fun things to do.

Saturday features a Halloween Bash at the Dublin Town Center, tours of Dracula's Lair in New Hope, and an "eerie-sistible" afternoon at a winery. There's also plenty of local trick-or-treating events taking place in communities throughout the county.

Sunday ushers in November and marks the return of Eastern Time. Don't forget to "fall back" before going to sleep Saturday night so you're not extra early for Sunday's fun things to do, including the Bucks County Symphony Orchestra concert at Delaware Valley University, the Diwali celebration at Central Park in Doylestown, and the Holiday Bazaar at Shir Ami in Newtown.

Here are seven fun things to do this weekend in Bucks County:
