What a weekend we had at the Pennsylvania Chocolate & Coffee Festival September 28th and 29th, which once again transformed the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, PA into a paradise for coffee lovers and chocoholics! This year’s event drew more than 9,000 people, and we were thrilled to have so many visitors to our table during our two days on site.
From the moment doors opened, our team was busy providing free blood pressure checks, handing out giveaway items, and most importantly, connecting with the community with so many great conversations. Some visitors were curious first-timers eager to learn more about Patient First. Others were familiar faces who stopped by just to share how much they appreciate our care. Those conversations are what make events like this so meaningful for us.
Of course, the festival itself delivered on its promise of fun. Imagine aisles of local and regional vendors (over 140 in total) offering chocolate treats, rich coffee roasts, creative crafts, and even meet-and-greets with mascots Chunk and Bean. Everywhere people turned, there was something delicious to taste or something fun to discover. The energy never slowed down, and the smiles never stopped.
We also love that this event happened right in our backyard– just minutes from our Collegeville and Pottstown centers. It was the perfect chance for us to connect with the community we serve, meet new neighbors, and celebrate alongside familiar ones.
We’re already crossing our fingers that the Chocolate & Coffee Festival will return in 2026. Being part of such a growing local tradition from the start has been a real treat, and we’re excited to see it continue to thrive. Until then, we’ll keep the memories close at hand.
