Def don't miss this event when you're in West Chester. Tons of restaurants to sample. Get there early though bc. it gets really crowded.
Once again we thoroughly enjoyed the West Chester Restaurant Festival. Great food, vendors, music. A definite must attend! To make it fun for everyone, leave your pets at home and consider no stroller. Very busy streets so patience is needed.
Nice people and food not expensive great variety not too crowded . Went with a group of fifteen and tasted a lot of different foods. Kids got to do crafts and picked up some crafty jewelry
Since living in WC for my 65 I started going when testable started. I stopped when it became commercial , that is to say restaurants at one time were there to show off food, now to make a buck. Yes, a beer garden, too hip and expensive. WC police are gate attendees, how sad for we residents.
All of the restaurant's in town, and many from the surrounding area set up on the streets of West Chester and sell (cheaply) or give away samples of their best dishes - it's a win-win situation. West Chester chips in by engaging various bands and entertainments and set them out throughout the town. It's great fun for everyone. Free Admission, too!
This is always a fun day out. It is usually in early fall so the weather is great. Don't bring a baby stroller!! There just isn't enough room and you will piss others off for getting in their way! Good variety of food vendors and other stuff for sale. Be patient and you will have a good time.
WC restaurant festival is a great tradition with really good food but...bring your wallet! Prices are outrageous, this should be a way to introduce food to customers not make a killing. It would be nice if they could spread it out around town to lessen the congestion. I have attended this for many years and always enjoy it, but drop $100 bucks for family of 4. Small portions are ok but $8-10 bucks apiece is ridiculous.
Great way to try a whole bunch of WC restaurants' foods at once! Lots of vendors and live music too! Definitely a great way to hang out with family, friends, or just your SO to see the town and drink and eat while doing so.
This is an event we look forward to every year -- great food, wide variety and lots of happy people. What could be better?
The West Chester Restaurant Festival is an annual event where the local restaurants in the area set up tents to let you buy some of their favorite dishes. Make sure to get there early to find a parking spot and to get to the restaurant vendors early before the crowds get too heavy.
