and 35+ ChesCo events you don't want to miss
Together With
Good Morning Chester County,
I’ll keep the intro short & sweet this week as we’ve got a LOT to cover below.
Fall events are in full swing here!
Between the multi-day festivals happening throughout the county, monthly must-attends like our friends at Growing Roots’ Night Market, and so much more I will not stand for anyone saying, “there’s nothing to do” this weekend.
You hear someone say that and you send them this email.
Boom. Problem solved.

♥️ Local Adoptable Pets of the Week
🐶 Meet Rocky
Not much is known about Rocky or his past, other than that he found his way into the care of Main Line Animal Rescue. One thing about him is for certain: he knows how to put on the puppy dog eyes (take a look and see). At 11 years old, he’s hoping he’ll get to spend his senior years in the care of a loving family. I’m hoping you’ll see him and bring him home.
🐱 Meet Queen
Despite her rough upbringing, this sweet senior lady has not let it affect her spirit. There’s nothing she loves more than pets and some great treats. She’s been waiting for the right family to find her and treat her like royalty, just like she deserves.

The Featured Pour
A closer look at the standout event happening this week

This week’s featured event is the 44th Annual Chester County Restaurant Festival
When: Sunday, 9/21 from 12 - 5:30 PM
Where: Downtown West Chester - Walk towards High & Gay and you won’t be able to miss it!
What to expect: If you’ve never experienced the annual restaurant festival…brace yourself!
If you’re a food lover, it will not doubt be one of your favorite events of the year. Whatever your taste…trust me, you’ll get it there. Come hungry, because dozens of vendors and restaurants from Chester County and beyond will be there tempting you with their best food.
Although food is the main character at this event, you’ll find plenty of local vendors, artists, and entertainment to keep the whole family occupied.
Budget at least two hours to really soak up the event, I promise you won’t be disappointed 😋.
