Philipsburg’s Heritage Days
Philipsburg’s annual Heritage Days celebration was founded as a way to keep enthusiasm for local history alive.
In 1997, Philipsburg celebrated its bicentennial. The town came together to treat thousands of visitors to a week’s worth of events featuring reenactments, vendors, crafters, presentations, concerts, a parade, and fireworks, among other things.
We are pretty proud of our Central Pennsylvania Tasting Trail. You get to enjoy locally-crafted beer, wine, spirits and cider in the very places where these quality products are made.
