Come home to the Commonwealth.
In Pennsylvania, we know home is wherever your family happens to be. And when you get them all together, magical things can happen. People connect in a whole new way. Stories are shared and savored like Aunt Linda's sweet potato pie. Kids learn about their roots; legacies are handed down to the next generation. And sometimes, there's a killer game of horseshoes.
A family homecoming can be a simple affair, like a picnic in a park, or an extravaganza complete with bands, t-shirts, contests, and more. Make your family's next gathering even more memorable by planning something different. VisitPA.com is an excellent resource; take a look at the packages on the right. We've put together ideas for every kind of family group—shopping mavens, art lovers, history buffs, or whatever you're into!
Consider a gathering at a state or national park, or get everybody together at a campground for an extended family funfest. Are your relatives an adventurous lot? You might want to meet at an amusement park or go whitewater rafting! For a more sedate gathering, explore the Commonwealth's many resorts and hotels, or take a motorcoach tour. You can plan a homecoming around a special event, or just pick a date that works for you. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination, so go wild! The gang will love you even more for it.
