Summer is an exciting time in Venango County! The area is full of things to do, local restaurants are serving fresh food, the trails and waterways are populated, the parks and downtowns are full of beautiful landscaping, and there’s an overall positive atmosphere.

A shocking comment that we often hear is: “there is nothing to do here.”

With Be Here, our goal is to spread the word about ways to live, work, and play in our region, because many residents and visitors can be unaware of all that we have to offer. Our Play Here page is a great place to find information about things to do in our region.

Here you’ll find links to: Parks, Trails, Canoeing & Kayaking, Golfing, Theater, Art & Music, Museums & Societies, Libraries, Youth & Family Activities, Festival & Events and more!

We also have a community calendar of events, which anyone can add local events to. The Be Here calendar can be found at beherevenango.org/events and we also share events on social media and send an email out once a week.

We encourage you to take advantage of all there is to do this summer, and all year long, in Venango County!

(Make sure to take your Be Here sticker with you & share photos with #BeHereVenango)
