The Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts (CPFA) was founded in 1967 by the State College Chamber of Commerce and Penn State’s College of Arts and Architecture to bring economic activity to State College as folks enjoyed the arts. Today, the CPFA is one of the largest arts festivals in Pennsylvania, drawing approximately 150,000 people to State College each year.
