Celebrate Independence Day this year at the Central PA 4th Fest in State College! This annual event is one of the largest and most spectacular 4th of July celebrations in the state, featuring a full day of activities, entertainment, and fireworks.
4th Fest has been a State College tradition every 4th of July dating back to 1927, when the Alpha Fire Company organized a carnival in celebration. Since then, the 4th Fest has evolved and was rated among one of the best choreographed fireworks displays in the world at the start of the new millennia. Over the years, organization and planning for the event has been passed through various partnerships and is now organized by an independent non-profit group of local volunteers who are dedicated to honoring America's independence and promoting patriotism. The event is supported by donations, sponsorship and ticket sales.
There is something for everyone at Central PA 4th Fest! Here are some of the highlights:
