On Saturday, October 5th Port Allegany Celebrated the 2024 Pennsylvania River of the Year
On Saturday, October 5th Port Allegany celebrated the 2024 Pennsylvania River of the Year with “Dining on the Allegheny”. The unique experience was held on the Brooklynside Bridge in Liberty Township, with more than fifty people in attendance. Eddie’s ON MAIN offered a culinary adventure while gathered at the table over the Allegheny enjoying the river’s natural beauty, history and richness of life. The extraordinary Chef’s Table menu featured courses on the river including Headwater’s of the Allegheny, Greens Along the Riverbed, Port of Entry at the Brooklynside Bridge, Sweet Finish at Three Rivers with… Don’t Tip the Canoe Mocktails.
The family style dining was enhanced with the music of ABBA provided by KARIZMA.The Little Mountain Winery from Duke Center was onsite and drone footage of the event was taken by Kyle Bonneau of the Feed Mill Gym and Nutrition Bar of Port Allegany. Watch for more photos of this event to be posted on Eddie’s ON MAIN’s social media. This celebration required the cooperation of several different entities joining together in appreciation of this PA Award by the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
To successfully host a community event such as this our small town demonstrated remarkable unity by collaborating closely with the County, Township, Borough and all essential services, showcasing the power of a collective effort to achieve a shared vision for our region. Port Allegany, Pennsylvania, originally known as “Canoe Place,” got its name from its location as a key stopping point on the Allegheny River where travelers would build or repair canoes before continuing their journey by water. Located 30 miles from the headwaters of the Allegheny River, the name was changed to Port Allegany in1838.essentially meaning “The Port on the Allegheny River” a Native American word likely translating to Best Flowing River or Fine River. What better way for a small Pennsylvania Community to share its rich heritage!
