Things To Do

Discover more things to do during any time of the year. Spring kicks off with festivities for Blue-White game and Memorial Day in Boalsburg, where the event was born. Summer brings athletes from around the world to compete in the IRONMAN 70.3 PENNSYLVANIA HAPPY VALLEY. Just days later, 4th Fest will fill the skies with one of the biggest volunteer-run fireworks displays in the country. It’s a summer of festivals and fairs: The Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts, People’s Choice, Tussey Mountain WingFest, Central PA Theatre & Dance Fest and Grange Fair. Fall is a favorite time here because of football weekends. It’s also time for fall festivals across the county. Winter brings its own fun, from Bellefonte Victorian Christmas to Tussey Mountain Ski Area.
