Firebird Festival Rises From the Ashes

Once cancelled by the organizers, Phoenixville's Firebird Festival is back on at a new location.

The 2013 Phoenixville Firebird Festival will go on after all.

A plan for the Festival won unanimous approval by the Borough Council Tuesday night. The vote comes after months of work by the private, volunteer festival organizers to find a new home for what will be the Festival's tenth anniversary this year.

The Festival as approved by council will be held on Saturday, December 14th at Friendship Field. The Festival had to move from Bridge Street due to fire concerns.

The first Firebird Festival, which features the burning of a giant wooden Phoenix, was held on the site that is now home of the new Borough Hall.
