Creative Experiences & Cultural Highlights

Lewisburg Arts Celebration

Experience the arts firsthand by attending one of our many arts-related events, from live performances to annual art festivals, markets, and artisan gatherings. With several local theater groups like the Weis Center for the Performing Arts and RiverStage Community Theater offering multiple shows per year, there are many opportunities to enjoy familiar plays and musicals or discover new favorites.

But you don’t need a special event to explore the arts in the Susquehanna River Valley. While the Samek Art Museum offers memorable encounters with artists, its gallery is open throughout the week so that you can explore its permanent collection and limited-time shows. We’re also part of the North Branch Art Trail, which suggests ways to experience local arts along the Susquehanna River.
