Good Morning Chester County,

For all those that celebrate, we hope everyone enjoyed a great Easter weekend and ending to Passover spent around their loved ones.

Just like a lizard in the sun, you couldn’t bring me inside this weekend. Did I get a little sunburned? Potentially. Was it worth it? Yes.

ChesCo is coming alive as the spring unfolds. Each weekend I’m looking forward to a brand new event or a return of one of my favorites.

We’ve got some good stuff cooking this week, so let’s get to it…

This is what we’ve got on tap:

• ChesCo Buzz 10k subscriber giveaway details

• Pets to adopt & local biz to support

• West Chester’s 19th Annual International Short Film Festival

• & 30+ other knockout events to enjoy this week

Thanks to everyone for their kind responses about the Local Business Bulletin. We’ve received a handful of new submissions, and will likely be figuring out a better way to display it so this doesn’t take up too much space.

Supporting local is one thing that makes this area such a great place to live. Take a look below to find some new businesses from the area ⬇️

The Featured Pour

A closer look at the standout events happening this week

This week’s featured event is The 19th Annual West Chester Film Festival

When: Friday, 4/25 through Sunday, 4/27 with multiple events happening each day

Where: West Chester Borough (Uptown!, Mayday Coffee, Side Bar) 

What: West Chester’s getting the spotlight this weekend with its annual Film Festival, and it’s worth checking out. Over the course of three days, some of the best short films from around the world will be put on the big screen for fans to enjoy. The stories span all kinds of genres, cultures, and perspectives, so you’re bound to find something that sticks with you.

It’s more than just movie screenings, too. There are workshops, themed film blocks, a red carpet, and even a showcase for young filmmakers. Whether you’re into behind-the-scenes stuff or just want to kick back and watch something new, this is a great way to get out, support the arts, and see what creative minds are up to.

What’s Brewing

Upcoming events you won’t want to miss this week.
