Bucks Happening celebrated the accomplishments of favorite local businesses this year at the sold out 2025 Happening List Bash. Guests were dressed to impress as they walked the red carpet and danced the night away.
Neither thunder nor downpour could dampen the excitement at the 2025 Bucks Happening List Bash, held once again at the stunning Tyler Gardens at Bucks County Community College. Hundreds gathered to celebrate the best of Bucks, proving that even an unexpected summer storm couldn’t put a pause on the party.
Guests arrived in their finest, with everyone truly dressed to impress. From sweeping gowns to sharp suits, the crowd brought major red carpet energy to the garden walkways.
