Bucks County Visitors Center Hosting Holiday TreeFest

Beginning on Tuesday, the Bucks County Visitor Center in Bensalem will be brimming with holiday cheer, Santa Claus and more.

The holidays and decorated trees go hand-in-hand. 

Visit Bucks County, with a little help from Jolly Old St. Nick, has kicked off the holiday season through the eighth annual Bucks County Holiday TreeFest. 

Twenty-five uniquely-themed trees will be on display through Jan. 7 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.

TreeFest is held at the Bucks County Visitors Center, 3207 Street Road, in Bensalem.

Sundays with Santa, musical talent and a special day dedicated to pet photos with Santa are a few of the highlights in the schedule of events, which can be viewed here. Parents are encouraged to bring cameras for Sundays with Santa on Dec. 1, 8 and 15, while Santa is taking photos with children from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. On Dec. 15, Santa will stay until 4 p.m. to take pictures with pets.

The Bucks County Visitor Center is also a drop-off location for Toys for Tots. Visitors are encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy through Dec. 9 to help the local community. The tourism office’s headquarters will also host a drop box for the Holiday Mail for Heroes program. The public can bring unsealed holiday cards containing messages of cheer and appreciation to our troops through Dec. 6. Letters will be sent overseas to soldiers in need of holiday spirit. No postage necessary.
