Arts & Entertainment

Brimming with a vibrant art scene and various forms of entertainment, the Valley is a true treasure to be discovered. Melodies emerge from parks, museums, festivals and performing arts centers, presenting concerts all year long. Dramatic and comedic productions from the Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble can be seen all over Northeastern Pennsylvania.

The Ned Smith Center for Nature and Art features a gallery displaying the works of its namesake. Nestled on over 500 acres, the landscape surrounding the center lends itself to artistic beauty like the kind that inspired Smith in all of his ventures as a writer, naturalist and artist.

Take a trip down Route 45. Along this highway travelers can find about 50 artists displaying their talents in a host of galleries, studios and museums. From contemporary to traditional and watercolors to ceramics, there is much to admire.

Penns Creek Pottery has been a part of the Valley for 30 years. Taking up residence in Sampsel’s Mill, which was built in 1818, Penns Creek Pottery brings a new purpose to this important landmark. Bill Lynch and his group of assistants create beautiful handcrafted porcelain and stoneware pieces. These works are designed to be very durable and can withstand normal everyday use.

Find refreshment at one of the several wineries in the Valley. Hunters Valley Winery in Liverpool provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere atop an overlook where patrons can enjoy the day accompanied by a bottle of vino. Part of the Susquehanna Heartland Wine Trail, Shade Mountain Winery has three wine store locations, one of which lies in Middleburg where its vineyards are located. Using grapes grown in its own vineyards and locally grown fruit, the winery produces more than 30 different wines. Visitors are encouraged to bring their own picnic lunch and enjoy a taste of Shade Mountain’s flavors, while overlooking the vineyards.

Also part of the trail, the Spyglass Ridge Winery in Sunbury produces many flavorful wines and plays host to endless guests with various special events and weddings next to its gleaming lake. Three additional wineries exist on the Susquehanna Heartland Wine Trail: Benigna's Creek Winery, Brookmere Winery and Mount Nittany Vineyard and Winery.
