READING, Pa. – We are a few days out from the official first day of fall, and West Reading is celebrating with its 20th annual fall festival.
The festival started at 11 a.m. Saturday and will continue through 7 p.m., event organizers say.
The event is located on the 400 to 700 blocks of Penn Avenue, and the streets surrounding this area are closed so festivalgoers can enjoy the event freely.
West Reading Fall Festival showcases over 200 craft and retail vendors, including a wide array of food and beverage choices, and free live music on three stages.
Free parking is located in the neighborhood. In addition, many public lots and limited handicapped parking is available at Kuhn’s Funeral Home at 8th and Penn Ave.
The 2026 festival is sponsored by Masano Auto Group, Penn State Berks, and American Diner.
