F & I History

For 30 years, Penn's Colony has presented a festival as unique among other festivals as the Pittsburgh region is to the nation.
With an authentic focus on the French & Indian period, beginning with the 1753 journey of a young George Washington through this region, Penn's Colony Festival weaves history into a colonial faire featuring a village filled with fine craftsmen.

The distinction of Penn's Colony craftsmen is quality and variety. A mission for design integrity, renewable resources, green and safe products, brings 185 artisans together once a year with contemporary and traditional works for the home, garden, seasonal decoratives, holiday gifts and personal accessories.

Whether you want a custom primitive cabinet or to taste the soup renowned Food Network Host and Chef Giada de Laurentiis picked as her favorite, come to Penn's Colony Festival.

It's not just history. Not just another craft show. It's a unique Pittsburgh region experience.
