Hey Phoenixville,

I hope you’ve all had a great week celebrating fall. I spent last Saturday hiking in White Clay Creek State Park and followed it up with a stop at Dew Point Brewing Company. It’s about 50 minutes from Phoenixville, but I think Phoenixville needs a venue like this. There’s about a half acre of grass, a stage with a live band, and an outdoor bar serving up beer. Since it’s fenced in, it’s safe for kids to roam, and it’s dog friendly. This is something I would love to see in Phoenixville one day.

If you’re looking for spooky parties, live music, or family-friendly fall activities, the town is packed with things to do over the next few days.

Orion Wellness Harvest Market, taking over Reeves Park this Saturday. It’s the perfect spot to grab a cold drink, let the kids burn off some energy, and enjoy the crisp autumn air. Beyond the market, the schedule is loaded with everything from cemetery tours and costume contests to Sunday brunch and weekly trivia. Grab your costume and check out everything happening around town this week.

Here's what's happening.

Featured Event

Halloween weekend just got sweeter. The 2nd Annual Orion Wellness Harvest Market takes over Reeves Park this Saturday, October 31, from 11 AM to 4 PM. Stroll through local artisan vendors, grab a bite from the food trucks, and enjoy live music while you sip something cold in the Levante Brewing beer garden. The kids can bounce in the moonbounces, play yard games, try some crafts, and get their faces painted for free. Bring the whole crew and soak up a fall afternoon.

Brandywine Simmer Pot Company

Last year, I started Brandywine Simmer Pot Company as a side project before launching Phoenixville Life. What began as a fun creative outlet quickly took off, and my stovetop blends became best sellers on Etsy, my website and at the Leesport Christmas Market.

If you have never used one, a simmer pot is a simple mix of dried botanicals, herbs, and spices. All you do is add them to a pot of water on your stove and let it gently simmer. It fills your entire home with a warm, cozy scent naturally and without any synthetic fragrances. They make wonderful, thoughtful holiday gifts for friends, family, teachers, or coworkers.

To help you get an early start on your holiday shopping, I just marked down my individual simmer pot on the shop by 30%. No discount codes needed because the sale prices are already live, so you can grab your favorites while current batches are in stock.

I Almost Threw Out My Keurig. It Wasn't Broken.

Every cup from my Keurig started tasting weak, flat, stale — so I unplugged it and stuck it in a closet. Then I learned the dirty secret of grocery store K-Cups: by the time a pod reaches your kitchen, it's usually spent months going from factory to warehouse to truck to shelf. The flavor oils are long gone. Some brands even over-roast to hide it.

The fix wasn't a new machine. It was fresh pods from Angelino's, a family-owned L.A. roastery that roasts, packs, and ships within 3–5 days — straight to your door, from 39¢ a cup. Over 1,000,000 happy customers. 50+ flavors, no subscription required, and 15% off your first order, applied automatically at checkout.
