Ardmore Day 2025: What You Need To Know

ARDMORE, PA — Save the date for Oct. 18, the Ardmore Business Association is hosting its annual Ardmore Day event.

The free community event will be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Ardmore's Schauffele Plaza.

"The Ardmore Business Association is thrilled to offer this free community event again," Ardmore Business Association President Nina Greberman told Patch.

Fans of Ardmore Day can expect some of their favorite events and activities this year, as well as some new additions.

"We're excited to bring in our new Family Fun Zone with bumper cars and a nine-hole golf mini course."

Greberman said the event, now in its sixth year, is bigger and better than ever.

Returning again is the Ardbark Dog Parade & Contest. Attendees are invited to dress up their pup and show off their creativity in the crowd-favorite canine costume contest.

NBC Sports Philadelphia reporter Michael Barkan will once again return as the master of ceremonies for the dog parade and costume contest.

Kids are also invited to dress up in their costumes for the Spooktacular Parade. After the Spooktacular Parade, kids can join in on the candy scavenger hunt, sending them to participating business around Ardmore for sweet treats.

And, local businesses will be offering deals and sidewalk sales throughout the day.

The day will also feature live music from student musicians from Meridee Winters School of Music and more.

Free food will be available from Wild Fork and Philly Lobster Gourmet Foods. More food vendors may be announced at a later date.

Greberman said she hopes to have Eagles mascot Swoop make an appearance at Ardmore Day as well.

There will also be face painting, caricatures, and more activities for kids and adults.

Sponsorship opportunities are still available. Learn more about sponsorships online here.

Schauffele Plaza is located at Lancaster and Cricket avenues in Ardmore.
