Westchester Borough approves special events including annual roof event and Turkey Trot 5K

The Borough of West Chester is set to host two beloved community events this fall, following the approval of special event applications during the government meeting on May 14, 2025. The first event, "Up on the Roof," is scheduled for September 13 and has been a staple in the community for nearly two decades. Organizers are working with a local caterer and alcohol provider, who will need borough approval to extend their license with the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board.

The second event, the annual Turkey Trot 5K, is also on the agenda, with organizers expressing hopes for favorable weather on the chosen day. Both events are expected to draw local participants and support the downtown area, reinforcing the borough's commitment to fostering community engagement and local business.

No concerns were raised during the meeting regarding these events, indicating strong community support and a smooth planning process. As West Chester prepares for these gatherings, residents can look forward to celebrating together while supporting local initiatives.
