Fall looks good on
Penn Avenue.

West Reading Fall Fest is back for its 20th year—a full Saturday downtown with local food and drinks, neighborhood shops, familiar faces, and the kind of crowd that makes Penn Avenue feel like the center of Berks County for the day.

Date Sunday, September 20, 2026
Time 11 AM–7 PM
Location Penn Avenue · West Reading
This Year 20th Annual Fall Fest

Make a day of it

Come hungry. Walk the Avenue. Stay awhile.

Fall Fest lands just before the official start of fall and gives West Reading a full day to show off what makes the borough such a fun place to spend a Saturday.

Grab something to eat, stop for a drink or a treat, browse the shops along Penn Avenue, and enjoy the energy of one of the area's biggest community days. Whether you stay for an hour or make a full afternoon of it, there is plenty to explore up and down the Avenue.

West Reading is known for its mix of restaurants, coffee and dessert spots, specialty shops, local businesses, and walkable downtown atmosphere. Fall Fest brings all of that together with a much bigger crowd and a reason to get outside before summer officially gives way to fall.
