Stuff you should know - September 2026

​Summer is winding down
We all know that most of September is still technically part of the Summer, but once school starts it really does feel like the beginning of Fall. We've collected a few items you need to know as the seasons change, and threw in a couple of fun local things to do.

​First Friday at Sweet Mabel
First Friday is Back September 4, 6-9pm! Drop by for an opening reception for Donna Streisfeld & Kristin Reynolds plus live jazz by Bar 33 and refreshments.
Bonus points for hitting The Greeks Next Door (literally next door)
between 5-7 for a free first Friday beer sampling with Aldus Brewing Company !

​Narberth Music & Arts Festival - Sept 13
The Narberth Music & Arts Festival is a day of free family fun right in downtown Narberth! The Maker's Market features dozens of booths of artists and craftsmen on Forrest Avenue all afternoon.
