Join us for this annual FREE celebration of nature and the arts; the perfect way to celebrate summer! The wildlife center will be talking about Pennsylvania Biodiversity at 12:30 pm during the event.

Since 1994, the Center has held its annual festival, which began as the “Ned Smith Tribute Festival.” Now, more than 25 years later, this event is still going strong, bringing free family-friendly, educational entertainment to thousands of people all over central Pennsylvania. Although elements of the festival have changed over the years, certain favorite activities have become permanent fixtures, like the make-it-yourself bluebird boxes, live-animal demonstrations, delicious local food and artisans and our fish-print t-shirts! The Annual Nature & Arts Festival is held every year on the last Saturday in July! This years event is July 29th, 2023!
