Your Donation Helps So Much!

Support the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts

For 59 years, the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts has been a beloved summer tradition, bringing world-class art, music, and entertainment to State College. As one of the nation’s top-ranked juried art fairs, our festival attracts 125,000+ visitors each year—boosting local businesses, welcoming Penn State alumni, and creating unforgettable experiences for families and friends.

The Arts Festival is free to attend, made possible by business sponsorships, community support, and individual donors like you. While many businesses benefit from the festival’s success and give back as sponsors, we also rely on contributions from those who treasure this annual tradition.

If the Arts Festival holds a special place in your heart, please consider giving back. Your support helps keep this cherished event thriving for years to come.
