Slippery Rock’s VillageFest draws crowds of thousands to the borough’s Main Street each year, and this year’s attractions could entice even more.

The festival celebrates local businesses and nonprofits, and it will offer activities and entertainment for people of all ages Friday, Sept. 23 through Sunday, 25.

According to Tom McPherson, of Slippery Rock Development, VillageFest will have more than 100 food and craft vendors and organizations lining Main Street over the course of the weekend.

A variety of musical entertainment will also keep people engaged as they peruse local businesses.

“Friday, we have our opening concert at Slippery Rock University, The Clarks and The Stickers at 7 p.m.,” McPherson said. “At 4 p.m., we’ll have food trucks lining Morrow Way on campus for people to eat from.”
