The fall PA festivals in the south central area of the state are nice for finding fall crafts for your home, inside or outside.
There’s a variety of music fests, a food fest offering Italian items, a celtic fest and more.
We’ve been to a number of these festivals, and we like going back to them.
Delgrosso’s is a nice festival with local organizations cooking festival food.
They have a good many craft vendors selling everything from tee shirts to handmade
