Each year we pour our hearts, souls, and spare time into making this festival magical (and at no charge!) for the local Central PA community. We strive to make each part of the festival unique and creative, from the various music stages, to the writers nook, to active workshops and learning activities, to the children's tent with arts and crafts and the children's stage. Not to mention all of the local artists who display their wares as vendors, and the food trucks from local restaurants. We are excited to bring this event to our community each year.
