Hot Summer in the SRV

Things are warming up in the Susquehanna River Valley; and we don’t just mean the weather! Summer 2023 will be packed with fun-filled events that bring people together in celebration for all our region has to offer. The Susquehanna River Valley Visitors Bureau is your source for these events.

The team at the Visitors Bureau strives to make sure no one misses out on the fun. At our website, VisitCentralPA.org, you will find a calendar filled with events to appeal to everyone in your group…from family-friendly nights out, and community festivals, to historic presentations, and concert series. Sort by week or by event category and keep checking back as new events are being added every day.

Another great source for fun is the Susquehanna River Valley Facebook page. Follow us to receive the latest updates about the events in Northumberland, Snyder and Union counties and beyond. Events from both the online calendar and the Facebook page are featured in the Bureau’s e-weekly newsletter, “This Week in the Susquehanna River Valley.” Sign up for the weekly or quarterly event newsletter by emailing Sharon@VisitCentralPA.org or by phoning the Visitor Center at 570-524-7234, and have news about upcoming events delivered directly to your inbox. You will soon discover that there is always something happening in the Susquehanna River Valley!
