That’s Entertainment!

We are developing the 2024 schedule now.  Check back in June for the updated information.

Performances are a highlight of the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts—it’s hard to top enjoying a show (and maybe a Creamery ice cream cone) from the comfort of a blanket spread on the Old Main lawn on a warm July night.

This summer, we’ll be offering a traditional mix of old favorites and new performers on both outdoor and indoor stages. In addition to the Festival Shell on the Old Main lawn, we’ll have performers on the Allen Street Stage and on the Sidney Friedman Park Stage, plus some smaller acts on outdoor plazas. 

We’re sure you’ll find a performance you’ll enjoy at the Arts Festival!

The Sidney Friedman Park Stage is sponsored by AccuWeather.
The Sidney Friedman Park performances are sponsored by the East Highlands Neighborhood Trash Crew.
The Allen Street Stage is sponsored Wednesday – Friday and Sunday by First National Bank.
The Allen Street Stage is sponsored Saturday by McQuaide Blasko Law Firm.
