Craft and Caffeine: Pennsylvania Chocolate & Coffee Festival Returns with a Richer Brew

The Pennsylvania Chocolate & Coffee Festival returns to the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center on September 27 and 28, bringing together over 140 vendors of artisan chocolate, specialty coffee, and gourmet food for a weekend of tasting, learning, and family-friendly fun.

Now in its second year, the festival builds on the success of its debut, adding expanded educational offerings and interactive experiences. Attendees can explore the Chocolate Education Classroom, where experts lead sessions on cacao fermentation, chocolate nutrition, and industry insights, all included with admission.

New this year is the Mad Catter Coffee Lab, offering hands-on workshops in brewing techniques, latte art, and coffee tasting. For families, there are children's crafts and photo opportunities with mascots “Chunk & Bean.”

VIP access includes early entry, exclusive gifts, and two-day admission to all seminars. Free parking is available on-site, and discounted tickets are offered for advance purchase. Grab Tickets Here

With its blend of flavor, learning, and regional craft, the festival continues to grow as a fall tradition for food lovers across the Mid-Atlantic.

From HBO to the Stage: Nikki Glaser Brings

Raw Comedy to Santander Arena

After a breakout year that cemented her place among comedy’s most vital voices, Nikki Glaser is taking the stage with her Alive and Unwell Tour, a globe-spanning run that extends through October 2025 across North America and Australia.

Known for her fearless, confessional style, Glaser’s ascent has been marked by accolades and milestones. In January 2025, she became the first woman to solo-host the Golden Globe Awards, earning broad critical acclaim. Months earlier, her second HBO special, Someday You’ll Die, premiered to record-breaking numbers on HBO Max, becoming the platform’s most-watched comedy special to date and earning multiple award nominations, including Emmy, Grammy, Golden Globe, and Critics Choice nods.

Glaser, recently named “Comedian of the Year” by The New York Times, is also a standout presence on streaming and television. Her viral performance at Netflix’s Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady reaffirmed her reputation as a powerhouse roaster. She continues to expand her creative reach with Lovers and Liars, a CW reality show she hosts and produces, and The Nikki Glaser Podcast, a 2025 iHeart Podcast Awards nominee.

Beyond comedy, Glaser’s work increasingly blurs genre lines. She wrote and recorded the theme song for Someday You’ll Die, revealing a musical dimension that complements her raw, unfiltered storytelling.

With each tour stop, Glaser brings not just sharp comedy, but a voice that resonates across audiences—honest, vulnerable, and unapologetically bold.

A White-Hot Evening: Pottstown’s Fête en Blanc Returns for Its Eighth Year

As the summer sun sets on another season, the Borough of Pottstown prepares to light up one last evening in style. On Friday, September 12, 2025, from 6 to 9 p.m., residents and visitors will gather at Smiths Plaza for the eighth annual Fête en Blanc, a now-beloved tradition that combines elegance, community spirit, and celebration under the stars.

The concept is simple, yet striking: guests arrive dressed in white, bringing their own food, beverages, and creative energy to personalize their tablescapes. In return, organizers provide the essentials—tables, chairs, and white linens—and set the stage for a night of connection and charm in the heart of the borough.

With live music provided by High Street Music Company, and attendance expected to top 750 people, the evening promises both festivity and intimacy. Attendees are encouraged to order takeout from local restaurants, turning the evening into a culinary showcase for downtown Pottstown as well.

Hosted by Pottstown Area Economic Development, Fête en Blanc has grown over the past eight years from a niche gathering to a signature social event, drawing residents from across the region. More than just a dinner party, the evening serves as a symbolic send-off to summer—and a visible reminder of the vitality that pulses through Pottstown’s historic streets.

Tickets are $15 per person, and the event is open to the public.
