Publisher

Pennsylvania Fairs & Festivals is published by Kinetic Gain LLC in Boston, Massachusetts.

What this is

A directory of Pennsylvania county fairs, festivals, and community events, published independently by one company. No fair board, county, or tourism agency runs or endorses it, and we do not handle tickets.

The Pennsylvania listings in numbers

  • 125 listings across 65 counties. Lancaster County has the most (9).
  • August has the most events (46), followed by September (34).
  • Most common categories: Family (114), Agricultural (107), Music (21). A listing can carry more than one.
  • 3 listings give a founding year. The earliest is June Fete Fair, established 1913.
  • 2 listings are tagged free admission.
  • 22 of 125 listings carry a dated, recorded direct check. 103 are listed from a published source with no direct check recorded.

Where the information comes from

Each Pennsylvania listing starts from something an organizer or a government office published: a fair's own website or a state page. The record keeps the address of that source page and a provenance date. That date is a check date only when the record carries a direct check (see below). Each listing links out to its source. Treat the source as the final word on schedule and price, since either can change.

How listings are checked

A check mark on a fair page appears only when the record carries a dated direct check. Everything else is labeled as listed from a published source. The methodology page explains the checks, how ended events are handled, and how guides are written.
