So fun to think about how this year's festival will look a lot like this throwback from 2011! There are 4 hours left to donate for Centre County Gives. Thank you to those who have donated and those who have it on their to do list. 😀 We truly appreciate it.

A heartfelt thank you to those who have supported us through Centre Gives so far! We are so excited to return to Boalsburg and your help to do so means so much to us. If you haven’t give yet, please consider doing so. We know there are so many places to support! Every little bit helps so even if you want to give just a little to several organizations, we will all appreciate every dollar. Number of donors counts, too!

Good morning and happy May! We are very excited for Spring and all of the details that fall into place in the months before our festival in July. Today we want to ask our community to consider choosing to support the festival for Centre Gives on May 6th and 7th. The move back to our original location is very exciting! But relocating involves a new budget and some new expenses. In addition to an increase in base costs for the facilities, we need:

-To pay more parking attendants
-More advertising to get the word out
-To refurbish our trusty old event stage
-To build a new electrical system to safely power the entertainment and food court

The refurbishment of the stage and the electrical system will be thousands on dollars on their own. We have always been a small team that runs on a minimal budget. This year we are seeking more grants, and we are doing everything we can to contain costs, but we really need community support! Please think of us as you are choosing where to send your hard earned dollars during these days of giving to your community. We will appreciate every little bit of it!

Thank you!

The People’s Choice Festival is returning to Boalsburg! Moving back is exciting and long requested. We are thrilled that it is finally possible!

The change of location is not without costs. Renting the grounds, staffing the parking lots, running shuttles, and other facility expenses will be higher than ever before. Our festival has always run on booth fees, sponsors, and grants. With these changes in expenses we will need more help. We are applying for more grants and participating in Centre County Gives this spring.

But we still need your help. Please consider donating to support us. PCF is a 501(c)(3) organization.

Thank you for keeping the arts alive in Central PA.

Applications are not closed!

The deadline is December 31st.

Moving to Zapplication has been quite helpful for many reasons, but it turns out we need to allow more time for people to use this system and for new artists to find us.

Please get your applications in! Thank you.

We realized we made our application deadline too early this year. We wanted to move it back to where it was in the past, but with so many more online applications and new artists we need to allow some more time for people to apply. We are sorry for the confusion!

So this is just Santa waving and reminding you that applications for the 2026 festival are open and are due on JANUARY 31ST
