Get Out: A Very Delicious Edition of Things to Do in Phoenixville

Hungry for pancakes? You’ll find two huge helpings this weekend. No matter what part of the Phoenixville area you reside in, you’ll be mere minutes away from a pancake breakfast on Saturday.

If a double dose of pancake breakfasts (with a bonus maple sugar festival thrown in) doesn’t strike your fancy, maybe donuts will do. Kimberton Fire Company’s delicious Donut Days will help mark Fastnacht Day on March 8. An Italian dinner benefit caps off the food-related goodness coming up in the Phoenixville area.

Still not hungry? Take in a play at Kimberton Waldorf School. “Bye Bye Birdie” runs March 3 – 5. A bridal show will also be held in Phoenixville on Sunday, and Friday is First Friday, so there’s a ton of fun stuff (and a new exhibit opening at The Historical Society of the Phoenixville Area) to look forward to.
