Firebird Fest 3

This name has especial symbolic relevance for the borough today. With the closing of Phoenix Iron and Steel in the early nineteen eighties the town lost its principle industry, and subsequently went through a twenty year period of stagnation and decline. Since the turn of the new century Phoenixville has been enjoying a rebirth; with the opening of new shops and restaurants, a visitor's center in the old Foundry Building, the continued renovation of the Colonial Theatre, the renewal of Bridge Street, and much more, it is truly rising from its own ashes like its mythic namesake.
