Summer weather is one to beat! From fourth of July celebrations, the Middletown Grange Fair, water rides to splash around in at Sesame Place®, and tubing down the Delaware, this season can’t be beat. Fall brings some of the best foliage in the state – as well as pumpkin picking, apple picking, scenic antique train rides across the countryside, and that crisp autumn air we all crave before the holidays. The Holidays in Bucks Co are nothing short of a winter wonderland. See George Washington and his troops re-enact their 1776 Christmas Crossing, warm up with a dark brew along the Ale Trail, and see countless tree lightings, holiday lights at the museums, and find bucolic hills to sled down.
