Central PA Arts Festival: Open until Sunday, July 17. Overwhelming amount of information we could share on this festival, but instead, here's the official Central PA Arts Festival website.
Expert Tip #1: Forgo the $6 lemonade (what a rip-off) from the food vending tents and head up to the Youth Service Bureau stand (@ 143 West Fairmount Avenue) for free lemonade, water and sweet treats. There is a donation jar to support a good cause and it will be open all festival long! I had 3 lemonades throughout the day today @ $1 donation each and saved $15 while helping a worthy cause.
Expert Tip #2: Also related to hydration. If you are on the campus side of the Arts Fest, avoid Willard Building to purchase a beverage from the vending machines (specifically, Pepsi of Altoona)...unless you enjoy watching your drinks fall to the bottom of the vending machine, instead of dispensed! 3 waters & 2 Pepsi's later, I started to look around to make sure I wasn't on a hidden camera show. People's Choice Festival
Once known as the small alternative to Art's Fest, the People's Choice Fest has become a giant of its own. Visit their official website for a schedule of events.
Lemont Festival: The newest and smallest of the festivals, the 2nd Annual Lemont Fest begins Friday, July 15 and runs through Sunday, July 17. The purpose is to offer local residents an alternative to the larger festivals. All vendors are local family-owned businesses and entrepreneurs. 25+ vendors, local food and beverages, speeder train rides, music and free parking!
