It’s 94° out and definitely feeling like summer. ☀️

But it’s not too soon to start thinking about how we’ll close out the season — with Pottstown Fête en Blanc.

This elegant community event brings people together in white attire for an unforgettable evening in Smith Family Plaza, celebrating downtown Pottstown, local restaurants, and the connections that make our community special.

We are seeking sponsors for this year’s event. Sponsorship is a great way to support a growing community tradition, gain visibility for your business, and be part of one of Pottstown’s most memorable end-of-summer celebrations.

This year, 11% of proceeds will benefit Pottstown’s Fire Companies in honor of September 11.

Become a sponsor and help us make this year’s Fête en Blanc even more meaningful.

From live theater and visual arts to music, student creativity, and community programming, Pottstown’s arts scene continues to grow and inspire.
