Buttons ($10/$5): The 2011 Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts button provides wearers with general admission to selected performances and shows support for this terrific regional arts event. Show your button at these performances, and we're ready to entertain you on a first-come, first-seated basis. Buttons for ages 13 and up cost $10 each. We will once again offer a children's button available for $5.00, for kids ages 6-12. Children 5 and under are still free and do not require a button. Visit the Arts-Fest Button Page for more information.

Food: Many booths will be located along Allen Street serving a wide range of foods including strudels, egg rolls, pierogies, and Italian sausage.  Other food booths are located near Fraser Street and Nittany Avenue, and Central Parklet and feature such items as strawberry shortcakes and Maryland crab cakes.  No festival would be complete without such items hamburgers and hotdogs, funnel cakes, and fresh squeezed lemonade which are also found at various points through the festival. And, since this is a Penn State community, The University's famous Creamery ice cream will also be available.  For more detailed food information, visit the Arts-Fest website.
