West Reading Craft Pretzel & Beer Fest

JULY 13 UPDATE: The West Reading Craft Pretzel & Beer Fest on July 25th will look a little different this year. We will still have our craft beer tasting, and live music from 12-4pm. Our restaurants will have the most amazing pretzel dishes on the planet during the day, but we will not be able to close down Penn Avenue and have our usual great mix of vendors. Live Music with Matt Bailey from 12-2pm and Mr. Nice Guy from 2-4pm at 6th and Penn Avenue. All proceeds go to support... the West Reading Community Revitalization Foundation, a 501(c)3 community development organization supporting West Reading's Business District.
