As part of the ongoing Downtown Pottsville “Summer of Pottsville”, the day will be filled with vendors, live music, and great food! It’s the perfect time to spend all day in downtown Pottsville with the entire family. Pottsville Cars and Coffee, The Arch Street Market, and the Pottsville Summer KickOff are all completely free, family-friendly events taking place at various locations in the city on Saturday, June 15th.
The Pottsville Summer KickOff takes place Saturday from 12pm-8pm in Joulwan park.
Another free admission event, this day-long extravaganza includes live music, delicious food,
and adult beverages. Be a part of the summer fun by bringing vibrancy and enthusiasm to the
Pottsville Summer KickOff- Music, Food, and Beer Fest! Keep the energy going with music by
Jesse Wade Gang, The Boys Upstairs, Hooligan, and Cody Wiley with some good tunes. Come
hungry to enjoy tasty food from WOW Wagon, Smokehouse Food Truck, Caribbean Cuisine, and
Skook Ice! Wash it down with some beer, Twisted Tea, or wine coolers to beat the heat. Stop by
and enjoy the atmosphere of a summer day to night in Pottsville, and enjoy the beginning of a
great season! Rain date for the Summer Kickoff is Sunday, June 16th.
Pottsville Cars and Coffee is a free event where motor enthusiasts of all ages can come
enjoy a cup of coffee and cars from their community. This event will be held on Mahantongo
Street between Centre and South 2nd Streets, outside of Pressed Coffee & Books and the
Republican-Herald. It is free and open to the public from 9am to 12pm. With all makes and
models welcome, this morning is fun for the whole family, making it a perfect way to celebrate
Father's Day Weekend.
Arch Street Market is back for their second event of the summer. After a very successful
day of sold out vendors on June 1st at our first event, Arch Street Market returns June 15th for
another afternoon of fun! Grab something to eat and enjoy the weather and music from
9am-1pm. Vendors will vary at each market, but will be anchored throughout the season by
staple farms like Rumbel Farms and Little Peace Farm, and Kowalonek’s Kielbasy Shop from
Shenandoah. Other artisan products include baked goods from Minersville Bakery, Sunny
Meadow Goat Soap, Heisler’s Coal Cracker Creamery smoked cheese, and fresh, seasonal
flower bouquets sold by students from Gillingham Charter School. This week’s market will also
include products from niche farms, such as herbs from Tooth of a Lion Apothecary in
Orwigsburg, and duck eggs from Tasty Duck of Shartlesville. Ongoing vendor and product
announcements can be found on the Downtown Pottsville Facebook page at
