Every year in mid-June the community of Wellsboro celebrates the blooming of our State flower with the annual PA State Laurel Festival. The week-long event will include a juried arts and crafts fair, queens pageant, firemen's carnival, bicycle and foot races, a gospel sing and several musical concerts, a pet parade, as well as the traditional two-hour Laurel Festival Parade. This is always a great week packed full of fun for the entire family - you are sure to find something for everyone's taste. Our parade traditionally features high school bands, drum and bugle corps, Shriner's units, horse units, floats, clowns and more from throughout the state, joined by several of our friends and neighbors from New York state as well.Saturday, June 8th - Family Day & Children's Health Fair on The Green; Sunday, June 9th - Pet Parade; Concerts & Firemen's Carnival throughout the week; Friday & Saturday, June 14th & 15th, Arts, Craft & Food Vendors on The Green; Saturday June 15th, Parade at 2pm!
