The Food Fight has come to an end, and the winner is… all of us!

Thank you to everyone who joined the fight against hunger and helped support your local communities. West Bradford may have pulled a little more than their fair share of the weight this year, and we tip our hats to them!

Enjoy the bragging rights, West Bradford. We’ll be back. 😉

Thanks to everyone who looked at the forecast, shrugged, and still showed up yesterday for the 45th Annual West Chester Restaurant Festival.

Mother Nature tried to keep us guessing during setup, but about an hour before the festival got rolling, the rain shut off and the day turned out great. We appreciate your patronage and hope you left with full bellies and happy taste buds.

We’re already looking ahead to our next big event, the annual West Chester Halloween Parade on Wed. October 28th in downtown WC!

Based on the numerous forecasts we’ve been watching, THE FESTIVAL IS ON AS PLANNED unless there is a significant downturn in the weather.
We might get a little wet...did that stop Washington from crossing the Delaware?
Come hungry and dressed for any type of weather...we'll provide the food.
