Performances are a highlight of the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts—it’s hard to top enjoying a show al fresco on a warm July night.
This summer, we’ll be offering a traditional mix of old favorites and new performers on five outdoor stages. In addition to our main stage at Sidney Friedman Park, we’ll have performers on the Allen Street Stage and the Festival Shell on Old Main Lawn.
Plus, we are adding music and entertainment on campus at the corner of Pollock and Burrowes and on the Willard Plaza.
We’re sure you’ll find lots of performances you’ll enjoy at the Arts Festival! Click on the daily schedules below to find more information about each performance.
