They're here for you today, offering relaxation and entertainment, as well as a cultural extension for community living.

The Pasquerilla Performing Arts Center is an extraordinary educational and performance complex, on the rolling, rustic campus of the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown. The Arts Center hosts the Johnstown Symphony Orchestra as well as the River City Brass Band in a year round series. You can be entertained by diversified performances, from dance to classical music to jazz to student plays and children's theater. And there's more . . .

The Community Arts Center, catering to painters and craftsman with specialties, such as watercolor, woodcarving, calligraphy and photography.

Add to all of this our theatres, with summer stock and local performers in a myriad of Broadway comedies, musicals and drama - The Cresson Lake Playhouse along with the Mountain Playhouse, one of the nation’s professional summer stock theatres, both offering regular performances.

Regional museums and attractions include the Johnstown Heritage Discovery Center which chronicles the lives of turn-of-the-century European immigrants, the Johnstown Flood Museum, the Inclined Plane, the Allegheny Portage Railroad National Historic Site in Gallitzin and many historic buildings and neighborhoods such as in the Cambria City Historic District.

The work of both local and national artists is highlighted in exhibits at the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art on the St. Francis College campus in nearby Loretto, and the Johnstown location housed in the Pasquerilla Performing Arts Center.

And Cambria County loves to celebrate. We have festivals all summer long . . . Bluegrass, polka, homecomings, and more . . . including the Friendly City Polkafest, the Johnstown Folkfest, Thunder in the Valley annual motorcycle rally, Ebensburg Potatofest, Cresson Heritage Festival and the Cambria County Fair.
