PA Festivals In September
South Central PA Region

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
