The Board of Directors of the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts in State College recently announced the cancellation of its 2021 in-person festival in July due to continued health concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the Board’s press release, ongoing public health guidance made it impossible to safely produce the in-person festival event, which draws thousands of people to the streets of downtown State College each year. Plans are moving forward toward presenting an online virtual edition of the festival in early July.
Likewise, the annual Philipsburg Heritage Days Festival, also scheduled for July, has been cancelled for 2021 over ongoing public health concerns resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Plans for a new summer concert series in the Altoona area were made official this past week. The Rockin’ the Yard concert series will take place over six Fridays from June through September, and will be staged in the yard behind Altoona’s Jaffa Shrine Center. Headline acts for the concerts will include a series of tribute acts, plus the return of local country favorites Pistol Peg & the Beer Kegs for the series finale on September 17. Tickets for all concerts will be $10 per person in advance, or $15 at the gate. Proceeds will benefit the Shriners Children’s Hospital, the Blair/Clearfield Association for the Blind, and the FC814 youth soccer organization.
Meanwhile, the 5th annual Northern Cambria County Regional Heritage Festival will return this year. The festival will take place on Saturday, July 10, along Philadelphia Avenue in Northern Cambria. The event will feature a concert series throughout the day, along with a car cruise, food vendors, crafts and heritage displays, an evening fireworks display and more. Admission to the festival is free.
Entries are currently being accepted for the 2021 13th Annual Pennsylvania Heritage Songwriting Contest. The contest, held in conjunction with the annual Smoked Country Jam Bluegrass Festival in June, seeks recorded song submissions that celebrate the state of Pennsylvania, its people, places, history and traditions. First, second and third place finishers win cash awards, passes to the Smoked Country Jam Bluegrass Festival and the opportunity to perform their winning song entries on the festival’s main stage. Deadline for entries is May 15. The Smoked Country Jam Bluegrass Festival takes place June 17-19 at Quiet Oaks Campground near Cross Fork, PA. For entry form, contest rules and full details, visit the website www.smokedcountryjam.com and click the Pennsylvania Heritage Songwriting Contest tab.
Johnstown rockers Silver Screen have announced the addition of a new member, guitarist Kody Ofsanko.
