Summary of Event: The first ever Phoenixville Food Festival begins Saturday, October 5th at 12pm. Phoenixville First, the local organization of town leaders, has put together a food event that will include a Food Truck Festival on Saturday (time designated above), followed by a restaurant week Sunday - Thursday (10/6 - 10/10). Also on October 5th, the downtown will host two additional events, TEDx at the Colonial Theatre and a Pub Crawl with participating bars. We plan to have free parking in Borough lots, and musical acts, as well as a vendor area.

We are working to spread the word to residents and businesses as quickly as we can, and appreciate your patience and understanding in this event's first year!

How the Food Truck Festival works: Exact layouts will soon become available. Bridge Street will not be closed to traffic, but Main Street will be closed between Church and Bridge Streets for a vending space. The trucks will line Bridge as well, but will be facing the sidewalk. While there will be no parking on Bridge Street or Main Street (between Church and Bridge), we plan to create a detailed parking map so that residents, businesses and guests can prepare for the event. We plan to have more than 10 food trucks, and will also use Main Street as a the additional vending space, and will have seating and music in the Main and Bridge Parking Lot.

How Restaurant Week works: This part of the event runs from Sunday, October 6th – Thursday, October 10th.  We would love to see our restaurants participate to the fullest! This year will include Dinner only, and will function under a prefix menu.

Prefix: The prices will be $10 (for small boutique food options), $25, and $35. Participating Restaurants will create a meal option that fits into one of these price points. It may be priced per person, or per twosome.
