Anglers across Pennsylvania are preparing for the opening day of trout season, set for Saturday, April 4 at 8 a.m.

The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission has stocked approximately 3.2 million adult trout in waterways statewide, providing strong opportunities for fishing enthusiasts throughout the region.

Residents planning to participate are reminded that anyone 16 years or older must have both a valid fishing license and a trout permit.

Officials encourage anglers to review stocking schedules online to identify popular and recently stocked locations, including waterways near the Collegeville area.

The Trappe Tavern is highlighting its weekly lineup of food, drinks and entertainment with a series of specials every Wednesday.

Happy Hour runs from 4 to 6 p.m., featuring drink specials, followed by the availability of live Maine lobsters starting at 4 p.m. Later in the evening, guests can take advantage of a wing and pitcher special from 9 to 11 p.m.

The venue also offers a lively atmosphere for sports fans, with Philadelphia Phillies games broadcast across multiple TVs.

Organizers say the weekly event is designed to provide a welcoming midweek destination for the community, including nearby Ursinus College students.

A night of live music featuring emerging regional talent is set for April 4 at The Water Tower in Oaks, bringing together three bands for an evening of high-energy performances.

Headlining the lineup is PIKNIK, a Philadelphia-based band that has quickly gained traction with its blend of indie and alternative rock, known for energetic live shows and a strong DIY approach.

Joining them is Fuzztide Jones, delivering a sound rooted in garage rock with heavy riffs and psychedelic influences, and Post Boredom, a rising act combining indie rock and post-punk energy with fast-paced, guitar-driven performances.

The event will also feature a Sly Fox Beer Happy Hour from 7 to 9 p.m., with doors opening at 7 p.m. and music running from 8 to 11 p.m.

Tickets are priced at $8 in advance and $10 at the door.

Comedian Willie Barcena is set to make his debut at SoulJoel’s at SunnyBrook in Pottstown on Friday, April 3 at 7 p.m.

Doors will open at 6:30 p.m., with general admission tickets priced at $30 and preferred seating at $40 for the closest seats to the stage. The venue, located at 50 Sunnybrook Road, offers free parking, along with a full bar and food available through Gatsby’s Pub before and after the show.
