Spirit of the River: Ohiopyle Wine and Arts Festival

Spirit of the River: Ohiopyle Wine and Arts Festival The Ohiopyle Stewart Community Center will be hosting our 4th annual Wine, Arts, and Music Festival Our story starts here.

The mission of the Festival: To showcase LOCAL vendors, artists, and musicians, and to raise funds for the operation and maintenance of the borough of Ohiopyle, the Ohiopyle Stewart Community Center, and the Ohiopyle-Stewart Volunteer Fire Department. Our Story: The borough of Ohiopyle is a tiny town of approximately 35 year round residents that exists as an island within the largest State Park in

Pennsylvania. We are located in the beautiful Laurel Highlands region of southwestern Pennsylvania, on the shores of the Youghiogheny River and along the Great Allegheny Passage Bicycle Trail. The State Park tells us that we have more than a million visitors a year to our small community, and we are definitely a summer resort town and a beautiful place to visit. Ohiopyle has been a tourist town since the trains first came in the late 1800's. At that time there was a population in the hundreds, three large hotels, and lots of businesses to support the beautiful little town. Tourists came to admire the splendor of the Falls and the river and stayed because of the peacefulness, the natural beauty and the quaintness of our little town. In the early 1960's things changed dramatically- drastically altering the town forever. The state acquired most of Ohiopyle and almost 19,000 surrounding acres to create the largest Pennsylvania State Park. Most of the businesses and residences were acquired through eminent domain and torn down. The former Main Street soon became a parking lot and the town shrunk to a fraction of its original size. The town's permanent population has continued to shrink through the decades since down to what you currently see, just about 35 year-round residents. Because of the reduction in businesses and residents, this community can no longer afford to sustain the town on the revenue of property and mercantile taxes alone. We are attempting to raise funds to help Ohiopyle to survive and continue to be a thriving community and enjoyable destination for our many visitors. We need money to keep the street lights on, the streets plowed in the winter, and the grass cut in the summer. We had to sell our water treatment plant because we weren't able to afford operations of the system. We need help keeping the sanitary systems operating, and we need to upgrade and expand our current sewage treatment plant because it is undersized to adequately handle the summer season use. It works fine for 6 months of the year, during the off season. But because the borough does not profit from the over 1 million visitors a year, the residents alone struggle to sustain the town any longer on their own. The Ohiopyle Wine and Arts Festival sets out with lofty goals to raise funds to support the Borough of Ohiopyle with an event to highlight the best of what our community has to offer in Music, Arts and Crafts, and wine! Join us in May 20, 2017 for our Third ANNUAL Ohiopyle Wine and Arts Festivals!
