6th Annual PA Family Travel Fair @ John Bonfield Elementary Gym & Campus
Apr 27 @ 9:00 am – 3:00 pm

Exhibitors, food trucks, giveaways, children’s activities, shows and more!

Attendees quickly discover that this is no ordinary ‘expo’ event. Our exhibitors engage and educate attendees about their destinations without the pressure to buy something. The focus is on family. Studies show that when we spend time together exploring new experiences, our families benefit. Unfortunately, many of us are reducing the amount of vacation days we take, or we just do the same thing year after year. There are so many amazing getaways in Pennsylvania within a short driving distance. Our goal is the introduce you to some of those destinations. The PA Family Travel Fair is presented by Where & When Pennsylvania.
