Erie County invites all residents to celebrate our region’s rich heritage at the Erie County Arts, Music, and History Festival on Saturday, August 23, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Erie County Fairgrounds in Wattsburg.
This free, family-friendly event will feature historical displays from local preservation societies, a variety of food trucks, artisan crafters, and live musical performances by Wicked Goose and Hot Mess. Attendees can also enjoy the Gas and Gears II Car Show, which offers free entry for participants and trophies awarded in multiple categories.
To commemorate Erie County’s 250th anniversary, the first 250 festival-goers will receive a free Erie County 250 T-shirt (then $5.00 to purchase).
A special highlight of the festival will be the Time Capsule Burying Ceremony, featuring items submitted by each municipality in Erie County as well as contributions from local residents. The capsule will be sealed and preserved for 50 years, creating a lasting legacy for future generations.
ErieCounty250 encourages residents of all ages to join in this celebration of community pride, history, and the arts.
