Visit Bucks County, the official tourism promotion agency, welcomes the holiday season with the opening of the 8th Annual Bucks County Holiday TreeFest on Tuesday, November 26 at the Bucks County Visitor Center in Bensalem. This event is FREE and open to the public.
Twenty-five uniquely-themed trees will be on display through January 7, 2014 as the main gallery of the Bucks County Visitor Center is transformed into a wintry wonderland. Each tree is decorated by a local business or organization. Sundays with Santa, musical talent and a special day dedicated to pet photos with Santa are a few of the highlights in the packed schedule of events, which can be viewed at VisitBucksCounty.com/TreeFest.
TreeFest kicks-off on Tuesday, November 26 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Families are invited to attend and cheer on Santa as he arrives on a fire truck with Mrs. Claus at 6 p.m. to magically turn on the holiday lights! There will also be light refreshments, photos with Santa and a special appearance by the Chik-fil-A Santa Cow to entertain the children.
