Part Of Main Street To Close This Weekend For Shopping, Dining

DOYLESTOWN, PA — More street closures are planned this weekend in Doylestown, as the borough's "Pedestrian Zone" events continue.

Next up is South Main Street, which on Friday and Saturday will be closed from State Street to Oakland Avenue. It's the first closure for that block.

The closures will be in place from 5 to 11 p.m. on Sept. 25 and 26.

The event is the latest in a series aimed to draw additional patrons to town to support local restaurants and shops. Over the summer, portions of State Street as well as other portions of Main Street were closed to vehicular traffic to make way for the expansion of outdoor dining and shopping.

Local officials hope the closures help small businesses that have been hampered by the coronavirus shutdowns and restrictions.

The street closure events, which rotate locations, will continue into the fall, according to information from Doylestown Borough. The first weekend of October will feature closures on E. State Street. More information is here.
