We are thrilled to welcome you back to the Pennsylvania Military Museum Grounds! After several years away, and tremendous community enthusiasm and support, the People’s Choice Festival has returned to its historical location. There is something for every member of the family this year. From a hands-on science museum, to bounce houses, and live puppet and magic shows. And the petting zoo is back! On Saturday, July 11, we celebrate America’s 250th birthday with Red, White, & Blue Day. Back by popular demand, Christmas in July is being held all four days with Santa on duty Saturday and Sunday! We are also excited to welcome many first time artists and vendors to the show! Our Speciality Food, Food Court and Winery Row have new offerings and all-time favorites.
