Erie’s biggest summer festival, CelebrateErie, will return to downtown August 15–17, 2025, offering three days of free entertainment, food, art, and cultural experiences.

The annual event will feature performances from national and local musicians, with mainstage concerts beginning each night at 5:30 p.m.

Headliners include country star Russell Dickerson on Friday, hip hop group Gym Class Heroes on Saturday, and a Sunday lineup featuring “bob. an interpretation of Dylan” and Erie All Stars Presents: The Beatles.

Festivalgoers can explore themed districts along State Street, including the Family District, Food District, Culture District, and Art and Marketplace Districts.

The Chalkwalk will return as artists transform the street into a vibrant mural gallery.

Organized by Cultures, Arts, Festivals, and Events of Erie (CAFE), CelebrateErie is supported by sponsors such as Highmark, AHN, Northwest Bank, Erie Insurance, and the Erie County Gaming Revenue Authority.

The festival will run between Fourth and Tenth Streets in downtown Erie and is open to the public at no cost.
