Friday night the 4th welcomes the Boyertown Holiday Open House tour. For those who have never done this unique event, buy your tickets at several local establishments or go to the website www.boyertownpa.org. You will be transported back in time touring the local businesses and Victorian era homes via trolley as everyone rolls out the red carpet with Christmas goodies, music, and more. At the Hard Bean we will be featuring Porter Shimer on Piano playing and signing Christmas tunes all evening long. The Holiday tour starts for us at 5pm and goes until 10pm. We will also be visited by a special Boyertown treat, the Boyertown Brassmen! They will stop by around 8:30pm with a full horn brass section playing all the Christmas favorites!

Then on Saturday the 5th, its Chillin on Main, where Boyertown opens up main street for the kids! Santa comes to town along with ice carving, kids activities and more. At the Bean we will feature Miss Maggie from 2-3pm sing along with the kids. We will also have Carriage Rides from 1-3pm at $5 per person.

For those that do not know, the Hard Bean has stepped up its game in its live music. We are hosting live music on a regular basis every almost every Friday & EVERY Saturday now. How many of you have ever sat down looking at your weekend plans and said, "Man, there is nothing going on tonight in Boyertown"? How many of you have ever said, "I wish I didn't have to drive so far for live music!"? Well friends, those days are over. So put down that credit card, don't worry about gassing up to drive some ridiculous distance, and come on out and support your local scene on Friday and Saturday nights.
