“The purpose of the event, really, is just to get people into our downtown to see what New Brighton has to offer.”

The event being referred to by New Brighton borough manager Tom Albanese is the 4th Annual New Brighton Fall Fest happening on Saturday, October 15 from 12:00 PM until 6:00 PM. Albanese joined Matt Drzik on the October 11 edition of A.M. Beaver County to preview the Saturday afternoon event.

Local businesses and vendors will take over the parking spaces outside their facilities (traffic along Third Avenue will remain open to the public) to promote their food, services and crafts…along with live music and midway activities for the kids throughout New Brighton. There will be no food trucks at the event, as Albanese and the borough hope that attendees who will visit the Fall Fest take a bite out of the local restaurants whose food will be stationed at the main intersections of downtown. Beaver County Radio will be broadcasting live from Fall Fest as well from noon until two, featuring the Prize Caddy & Personality Prize Wheel.

Albanese says that all the vendors are set in stone; however: “We had a couple cancellations so there might be a spot or two available if anybody is interested.” Interested groups or parties may reach out to the New Brighton Borough by calling 724-846-1870, or by directly emailing the festival runners at nbfallfest@newbrightonpa.org.
