Man, the weather forecast for the upcoming hip hop festival is crazy. They’re calling for a Lil Wayne. 😆🎤 We’d go to the rock festival instead, but last time we got arrested for selling pot to The Police…it was a Sting operation. 😱
Who needs Coachella when you have the Keystone State? 🗝️🪁 If you’re looking for fun events this summer, we’ve got you covered.
Here’s Five Fast Facts on PA’s summer festivals:
- 🕺 Big Willie Style - Nothing says “Happy Birthday, America” quite like fireworks and a free Will Smith concert! Wawa Welcome America runs from June 19 to July 4 as Philly celebrates the country’s 250th anniversary with concerts, museum days, and citywide events.
- 🎶 Free For All - Some festivals charge you $18 for water before you even hear a song. Musikfest said no way, Jose. The event returns this summer to Bethlehem as the country’s largest free, non-gated music festival. Running from July 30 to Aug. 9, the event features hundreds of live performances spread across multiple stages throughout the city.
- 🎨 Art Attack - If your ideal festival involves both live music and pretending you understand modern art, Pittsburgh has you covered. Three Rivers Arts Festival returns to the city from June 5-14 with free concerts, artist vendors, and large-scale visual arts programming throughout downtown.
- 🤘 Campus Jam - State College really said: what if we turned campus into Etsy, but with live music? Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts returns July 8-12 with hundreds of artists, live performances, and theater events spread throughout the Pennsylvania State University campus.
- 🫐 Village Vibes - Somewhere between live music and lawn games, Red, White, and Blueberries BBQ Bash at Peddler’s Village is peak small-town summer energy. The July 4 celebration combines barbecue favorites with family programming, patriotic entertainment, and old-fashioned games throughout the day.
