Gay Street Open-Air Market
September 3
An event every week that begins at 12:00 am on Sunday, Friday and Saturday, repeating until October 29, 2023
The Gay Street Open-Air Market is back for 2023 and will officially begin on Friday, May 5th!
The Open-Air Market is an outdoor walking mall spanning four blocks in the heart of West Chester. From Friday, May 5th to Sunday, October 29th, Gay Street (between Matlack St and New St) will be closed to vehicles only on the weekends (Friday morning through Monday morning). Restaurants and retail alike will line the street, so residents and visitors have more space to shop, eat, and explore the town!
Big thanks to Borough Council for bringing back the Open-Air Market and everyone else who had a hand in its planning, approval, and setup. It’s going to be a great summer in West Chester!
Note: Gay Street will remain closed on Monday holidays (Labor Day) this summer.
