PA Festivals – July and August
South Central PA

The summer months of July and August offer southcentral PA festivals with music, arts and crafts, food, exhibits, car shows and dance.

Enjoy a variety of music from blues to bagpipes, let the kids participate in fun activities, enjoy a bite to eat, then browse the craft booths.
