There’s Nothing Better Than This Epic Festival In Pennsylvania

Pennsylvanians celebrate the season, good food, and life in general with countless fairs and festivals throughout the year. But, one massive festival that offers a full menu of activities – from scenic helicopter and carriage rides to demolition derbies and scrumptious food – stands apart from the crowd. Let’s visit Pennsylvania’s most epic festival.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures!

Experience a beloved Pennsylvania tradition next fall by joining hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians and others at the Bloomsburg Fair, which will celebrate its 162nd season from September 23-30, 2017.

Climb aboard a ski lift for a scenic trip over the vibrant Bloomsburg Fair, which attracted a whooping 382,018 visitors in 2016.

Or, if you prefer something a little more adventurous, enjoy a bird's eye view of the Bloomsburg Fair and the charming town of Bloomsburg aboard a helicopter.

The Bloomsburg Fair promises something for people of all ages and interests. Watch live entertainment, such as the Pirates of the Colombian Caribbean Aerial High Wire Thrill Show (picture from 2016).

Cheer on the drivers during the Figure 8 Races and at the demolition derby.

Take in a rodeo or visit one of the fair's many exhibits, including the farm museum, a dog show, a one room school house, and the Barton House Historic Area.

Attend one of the many musical performances planned throughout the week and...

Indulge in delicious food, including ribs, and popular festival treats like funnel cake and cotton candy.

Stroll around the fairgrounds that also feature an old-fashioned carnival atmosphere. Win over-sized stuffed animals at traditional games and...

Get a stunning view of the Bloomsburg Fair bathed in light as you sit atop the Ferris wheel to cap off the perfect day.

Visitors to the Bloomsburg Fair can purchase daily tickets or a pass that provides admission to each day of the festival. Tickets generally go on sale in late July.
