Enjoy a north central Pennsylvania festival in late winter to summer with music, food, art exhibits and craft booths with unique items.
See ice sculptures, take a trolley ride, get a bite to eat, watch entertainment, and enjoy a day of festivities.
Try foods like fried Oreos and fried pickles.
You’ll find a nice selection of artwork at some of these festivals done by extremely talented local artists.
Get a cup of hot chocolate as you browse the various vendor stands.
