Small Business Weekend 2026
Three days of holiday shopping across more than fifty downtown shops and sixty restaurants, starting the day after Thanksgiving. On-street parking is free all weekend, though lots and garages still charge.

September First Friday
Shops stay open late, many run sales, and street parking is free after five. The Rescue Dogs Band plays the Historic Courthouse and The Richard Brothers Band plays Gay Street.
Saturday Morning Walks
The West Chester Walking Club picks a different downtown spot each week and sets off at 9:30. Easy pace, no sign up, and some weeks the group ends up in a shop or a cafe.

Babies Boogie Storytime (Ages birth-24 months)
The Monday morning sitting of the same storytime, thirty minutes of songs and bounces for babies under two, with play time after. Registration is optional.
Music and Movement
Songs, instruments and moving around for small children, Monday mornings in the large meeting room. The branch is closed for the holiday on October 12, so that one week skips.
Crawl O'Clock
An hour of open-ended play for babies and toddlers on the move: pop-up tunnel, soft climbing blocks, sensory tiles, shakers and scarves. Come for the whole hour or five minutes.
