After our happy hour we will follow the parade to Veterans park to watch the Burning of the Bird.

Since 2004, Phoenixville Has Celebrated The "Rebirth" Of The Town With The Burning Of A Large Wooden Phoenix (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_(mythology)). The Bonfire At The Firebird Festival Is Used To Harden Clay Birds Crafted Over The Preceding Weeks.

An Estimated 5,000 To 6,000 People Flock To Downtown Phoenixville Saturday Night To Witness The Burning And Rebirth Of The Symbolic Firebird.

Many Rave About The Size Of The 24-Foot Firebird. The Bird Will Be Ignited Shortly After 8 PM And The Crowd Will Cheer As The Fire Lights Up The Night Sky—And Provide Warmth On A Chilly December Evening.

As The Bird Burns, The Fire Serves To Harden Dozens Of Clay Birds That Will Be Buried Underneath, Created In Workshops That Will Be Held Over The Previous Weeks.

Meant To Represent The Mythical Phoenix And Celebrate The Rebirth Of Phoenixville.
