Mark your calendars now for July 9 – 13, 2025
Over the past 58 years, the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts has become one of the top-ranked juried art fairs in the country, the highlight of the State College summer, one of the biggest non-football alumni weekends for Penn Staters, the summer’s economic anchor for downtown State College businesses, and the place to be for art, music, and fun the week after Independence Day.
For many of the 125,000+ visitors and hundreds of volunteers each year, the Arts Festival is an enduring tradition, experienced with friends and family, and not to be missed. Please explore this site to learn more about the many facets of Arts Fest. Note that the full site will be updated as of June 1, 2025. Until then, segments will be updated as they are ready. Otherwise the information will show 2024’s information.
