ABOUT
Once a year, Penn Avenue in Richfield is closed to motorized traffic and open for walkers and bikers to explore a wide range of fun activities, including music, dance, sports, games, crafts, community groups and more. That especial day is Penn Fest!
Penn Fest is a community-oriented, grassroots event meant to bring people together for a day of fun. Neighbors meet neighbors. Families make memories with their children. It's a day to bring along and old friend, or maybe make a new one.
​
It's a festive day filled with an eclectic range of activities to provide something for everyone. If you live in our local community, we want to see you at Penn Fest.
​
As it was on the first event in 2008, Penn Fest is a totally volunteer-driven inspired by community members. We always invite community members to offer suggestions or get involved with Penn Fest.
