Visit one of the summer festivals in PA in the Lake Erie and northwest area of the state in July and August.
Fireworks lovers can enjoy July 4th fireworks displays.
Outdoor lovers will enjoy browsing the food, arts and crafts booths at the different festivals.
This is in the Lake Erie region, so stop by the beach as a day trip or to watch a brilliant sunset after visiting one of the festivals in PA.
