Ironically\, the amount of snow on the Reading Town Common caused the Chamber to postpone until we had enough space to hold the event. \nWinterfest is the Chamber’s annual outdoor celebration of downtown Reading. Established in 2022\, it was created to bring the community together in a family-friendly environment as the coldest days of winter start to fade. \nThis is a free event\, with activities paid for by local sponsors. There will be fire tables and s’mores\, music\, local food\, beer and wine vendors\, lit ice sculptures\, and more. Local businesses and craft artists will have booths to visit. \nStroll the downtown\, pop into stores and restaurants\, and meet your friends after a looong winter. We hope to see you there.

As always\, the event runs from noon to 6 pm. \nIt features music of all genres on porches\, driveways\, and yards throughout the town\, and it’s completely free. Organizers\, musicians\, and hosts are all volunteers. \nTo participate as a musician\, a host\, or maybe both\, check out ReadingPorchfest.com for all the information needed to get involved. Official registration will open Saturday\, March 1st. \nThose hoping to be spectators that day will find a comprehensive schedule and a map at the site as the date of the festival nears. Also appearing as the schedule shapes up will be a gallery of artists and music samples. To take in all the talent\, one needs just to walk or ride from venue to venue to hear many types of music. \nCosts for the event are partially paid for by the Reading Cultural Council. \nReading PorchFest began as part of the town’s 375th anniversary celebration in 2019\, and has continued as an annual event\, set each year on the fourth Saturday of June. It has grown with each edition\, and early signs point to this being the biggest year yet. \nAgain\, that’s Saturday\, June 28th. Put it on your calendar right now\, before you forget.
