BUCKS COUNTY, PA —A candlelight tribute for Bucks County's crime victims takes place at Core Creek Park on Tuesday night.

NOVA, Bucks County’s comprehensive crime victim services agency, invites the community to join in honoring victims of crime, their families, friends, and those who serve them, at a candlelight tribute from 6-8:30 p.m. at the Core Creek Park Pavilion #11, 901 Bridgetown Pike, in Langhorne.

The gathering and reception begins at 6 p.m. with the event starting at 6:30 p.m.

The tribute will be a time of healing and awareness featuring reflection, music, and victim and survivor experience.

The speakers at the event include:

• Jennifer M. Schorn, Bucks County's District Attorney, will speak about the importance of supporting victims and their families.
• Victim/survivor stories of healing where participants will have the opportunity to honor themselves, a loved one, or a community member who has been the victim of crime.

There will be an exhibit of victim and survivor artwork, as well as interactive art stations.
