About the event
The West Reading French Fry Fest returns to Penn Avenue, turning the borough's main commercial strip into an open air celebration of one of the most beloved foods around. Vendors set up along the sidewalks with their own takes on the fry, from classic cuts to loaded and topped versions, and visitors wander the block sampling as they go.
Penn Avenue's shops and restaurants are part of the draw, and the street festival format makes it easy to browse storefronts between stops. The scale of the event and the walkable setting make it a comfortable outing for families, groups of friends, and anyone curious to see what the borough's food scene puts together.
The festival is free to attend, so you can stop by for an hour or spend the afternoon working your way down the avenue. Specific date and hours for the 2027 edition are still being confirmed, so check with the Borough of West Reading closer to August for the finalized schedule.
