Residents have a chance to see history come alive at this community event.

On Oct. 10, the Reading Symphony Orchestra and Yocum Institute will present a visual concerto titled 'Berks In Focus: Symphony of a Thousand Images' to celebrate Berks’ 275th anniversary with live music and photos (photo submissions end July 12).

An annual art showcase in West Reading drew crowds along several blocks lined with over 200 vendors, offering the community a vibrant display of local creativity.

Berks County released a record of property transactions filed today that shows many deed transfers across townships (some deeds had no money exchanged).

The records are available at the county recorder of deeds office.

Team USA’s win sparked local celebrations at FirstEnergy Stadium in Reading as families—like Greg McHugh’s—enjoyed an early Father's Day watch party, and fans gathered at Sly Fox in Wyomissing to cheer on their team.
