POTTSTOWN PA – If you want to plan your entertainment beyond a weekend, here’s our solution. It’s the extended calendar for Travels With The Post.
On average, up to half of calendar events listed here are in some way free. The remainder have fees (labeled as “ticketed”). Some have limitations, require registrations, or impose conditions. Depending on location, others may be affected by the weather. Hint: if unsure, call before you go.
Each weekday or weekend listing includes a green-colored link for more information.
No community calendar is ever “complete.” This one is updated regularly, and the contents are constantly changing. Stop back regularly to see what’s new. Got an event you’d like to add? E-mail it to travelswiththepost@gmail.com.
